Brief Summary

This pilot study was designed to evaluate the effects of Individualized music listening (IML) implemented on older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and PwD. This quasi-experimental study used convenience sampling where thirty-two elderly individuals were recruited from five community-based dementia care centers then assigned to experimental (EG, n = 16) or control (CG, n = 16) groups according to the self-reports of importance of music in their lives and according to their personal wishes. The EG received eight treatments of IML (two times per week, 20 minutes per time), while the CG received the usual activities of the care centers for four weeks when EG received IML. The anxiety levels of both groups were investigated before and after first time IML and after eighth time IML. The researcher observed positive and negative behaviors of EG before, during and after each IML per 20 minutes in each time IML.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Anxiety

  The Chinese Mandarin version State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Y form. The scores of the 20 questions are summed with total score ranging from 20 to 80 points. The higher the total score, the higher the anxiety level.

  First day: before the first time individualized music listening; first day: after completing first-time individualized music listeningof 20 minutes; the fourth week: after the last (eighth) time Individualized music listening of 20 minutes.

• Behavioral

  The Behavioral Observation Form for Intervention Condition checklist. If the 15 behaviors occurred in each period (20 minutes), the behavior column will be counted as 1 point in this time period, and if there were no behavior, it would be scored as 0 points. In this study, 15 behaviors were further classified into positive and negative behaviors (four negative behaviors included eye movement, agitation/restlessness, alertness, and sleeping), and then the scores of the two types of behaviors were summed up and the total score represented the performances of the behavior type. Higher scores mean more the type.

  Four weeks: eight times of individualized music listening. Before 20 minutes, during 20 minute, after 20 minute of every time individualized music listening.
