Music intervention can decrease negative behaviors in physically restrained patients. This pilot study found that music listening increased positive behaviors and reduced the need for restraints in hospital and rehabilitation settings.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Behavioral Science
Music Therapy

Background:

Restraint use in hospitals and rehabilitation settings is a significant concern for nurses.
There is a need for effective alternatives to physical restraints.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the behavioral effects of music intervention on physically restrained patients.
To assess music's potential as an alternative to physical restraints.

Main Methods:

A pilot study was conducted with physically restrained patients.
Music intervention was introduced, and patient behaviors were observed.
Patient behaviors were compared during periods of restraint and music listening.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

A significant increase in positive behaviors was observed during the music-listening period when patients were not restrained.
No significant differences in negative behaviors were found before, during, or after the music intervention.
Music listening may promote positive behaviors in patients previously requiring restraints.

Conclusions:

Music intervention shows promise as a non-restraint approach to managing patient behavior.
Further research is necessary to validate these findings and explore optimal music therapy protocols for restrained patients.
