Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Psychology
  • Music Therapy

Background:

  • Patient behavior in healthcare settings can be challenging.
  • Physical restraints are sometimes necessary but can cause distress.
  • Music interventions are explored for their potential to influence patient behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To psychometrically test the Restraint-Music Response Instrument (RMRI).
  • To measure patient behaviors during music interventions.
  • To determine music's effect on physically restrained patients' behavioral reactions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 40-item observational checklist (RMRI) with positive and negative responses.
  • Assessed content validity via an expert panel.
  • Tested interrater reliability using simulated and actual patients.

Main Results:

  • The RMRI demonstrated validity and reliability in measuring patient responses to music.
  • The instrument is suitable for observing behaviors during music interventions.
  • Further research with a control group is recommended.

Conclusions:

  • The RMRI is a promising tool for assessing patient responses to music.
  • Music interventions may influence behavioral reactions in restrained patients.
  • Additional controlled studies are needed to confirm findings.
