 note = {Background: Music activities enhance residents’ enjoyment and adaptation to nursing
homes. Community music therapy promotes human relationships and a pleasant living
environment. However, there have been few comprehensive studies focusing on the
conditions of music provision. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions,
problems, and staff recognition of the effects of music provision to improve its use in
nursing homes through music therapy, music activities, and the concept of community
music therapy based on a nationwide cross-sectional survey. Method: An anonymous
questionnaire was mailed to a total of 517 randomly selected nursing homes. Questions
collected data on demographic characteristics; the planners and providers of music;
objectives/ways/evaluation of music provision; respondents’ recognition of the effects of
music; and conditions of music activity training. We divided the respondents into music
therapy, music activity, and no music groups. Pearson’s chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test,
and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to identify differences in demographics and staff
recognition among the three groups. Among the results with significant differences, the
items of continuous variables were analyzed using the Steel-Dwass test, and the items of
the chi-square test were further analyzed using residual analysis. Results: We collected
a total of 96 completed questionnaires. Music therapy or music activity was provided by
80.2% of nursing homes. Around 50% of the nursing homes that provided music therapy
had a music therapist as a planner and provider. Care workers were most often the
planners and providers. The rate of evaluation of music provision was approximately 10%-
30%. The recognition of “increased staff intimacy with residents” was significantly lower
in the no music group among the three groups in residual analysis (p<0.05), and was
approximately 30% less than in the music activity group. Only 6.3% of the nursing homes
provided music activity training. Conclusions: The findings of the present study suggested
that while promoting the cultivation of music therapists, education of staff in music
activities should be developed.},
