(Impact of Music in Neonatal Development)

Abstract

Background: The physiological development of preterm infants seems to be improved with music stimulation. Studies have shown live music therapy is more beneficial music than recorded music and no music therapy during the recording of physiological and behavior of preterm infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show how the impact of live music therapy has on neonatal development.

Method: Thirty-one stable infants randomly received live music, recorded music, and no music therapy over 3 consecutive days. A control of the environment noise level was imposed. Each therapy was delivered for 30 minutes. Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen, saturation and a behavioral assessment were recorded, every 5 minutes, actively awake and aroused; 6, quite awake or alert; 5, actively awake and aroused; 6, highly aroused, upset, or crying; and 7, prolonged respiratory pause > 8 seconds. Parents and medical personnel completed a brief questionnaire indicating the effect of the three therapies.

Results: Live music therapy had no significant effect on physiological and behavioral parameters during the 30-minute therapy; however, at the 30-minute interval after the therapy ended, it significantly reduced heart rate and improved the behavioral score Recorded music and no music therapies had no significant effect on any of the tested parameters during all intervals. Both medical personnel and parents preferred live music therapy to recorded music and no music therapies.

Conclusion: Compared with recorded music or no music therapy, live music therapy is associated with a reduced heart rate and a deeper sleep at 30 minutes after therapy in stable preterm infants. Both recorded and no music therapies had no significant effect on the tested physiological and behavioral parameters
