| Annotation | An American pre-test post-test intervention study, completed by 13 cognitively intact nursing home residents examined the effects of providing them with music of their own choosing on their immediate satisfaction and overall quality of life. The residents reported extensive past music experience and a had a diverse array of music preferences. While no significant changes in overall quality of life were found after listening to the music, all subjects reported positive feelings of immediate satisfaction in response to the music presentation. The results indicate the importance of developing and providing recreational activities that meet the individual needs and interests of nursing home residents. (RH). |
