“…These results support the findings of previous studies that showed the benefits of live music on the physiological and behavioral responses of the preterm infant (Arnon et al, 2006;Ettenberger et al, 2014;Garunkstiene et al, 2014;Loewy et al, 2013). In particular, live music interventions with infant-contingent singing promoted the infant's self-regulation and development (Haslbeck, 2014;Malloch et al, 2012;Shoemark, 2011).…”

“…Research showed greater benefits of music therapy with live music (Arnon et al, 2006;Garunkstiene, Buinauskiene, Uloziene, & Markuniene, 2014) and emphasized the importance of the parent's inclusion and accompaniment (Ettenberger et al 2014;Edwards, 2011;Haslbeck, 2014). Nevertheless, most research focuses on the effects of recorded music on the preterm infant, without investigating maternal perspectives and mother-infant interaction (Haslbeck, 2012).…”

Abstr Abstract actThis study investigated the contributions of music therapy to the mother-preterm infant dyad in a NICU. A single case study was carried out involving a mother and her preterm daughter (27 GW). They participated in nine sessions of the Music Therapy Intervention for the Mother and her Preterm Infant -MUSIP, with the aim of sensitizing the mother to the importance of singing. After the MUSIP and in the preand post-discharge periods, the mother was interviewed in order to provide an assessment of the intervention; furthermore, the dyad was videotaped during singing and non-singing interactions. The interviews with the mother and the written descriptions of the video footage were examined through thematic analysis. The results showed music therapy contributed: a) to the empowerment of the infant, through relaxation, stabilization of oxygen saturation, the presentation of new competences and engagement in singing; and b) to the empowerment of the mother, through relaxation, the overcoming of embarrassment and the fear of interacting with the infant, and through the strengthening of her maternal competences and her autonomy in singing. Together, the results highlighted the importance of music therapy to the mother-infant interaction, because singing contributed to more prolonged face-toface contact and more diversified expressions of affection.

“…For example, some interventions were limited to 1 day for 1 to 1.5 h, others to 45 s twice per day over a course of 2 to 6 weeks, and still others ranged from 15 to 45 min over a course of 1 to 6 days. 30,41,49,51,65–67,69,70,87,90–96,100,103,104,108 It remains unclear what the potential is for improving outcomes if such sensory exposures occurred consistently throughout NICU hospitalization. Moreover, evidence related to vestibular, kinesthetic and olfactory/gustatory interventions is not as well defined.…”

Enhancing sensory experiences for very preterm infants in the NICU: an integrative review

et al. 2016

OBJECTIVE Very preterm infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience alterations in sensory experiences. Defining types, timing and frequency of sensory-based interventions that optimize outcomes can inform environmental modifications. The objective of this study was to conduct an integrative review on sensory-based interventions used with very preterm infants in the NICU to improve infant and parent outcomes. STUDY DESIGN The data sources include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. Studies were identified that used sensory-based interventions in the NICU with preterm infants born ≤32 weeks gestation, were published in a peer-reviewed journal between 1995 and 2015, and measured outcomes related to infant and parent outcomes. Studies were extracted from electronic databases and hand-searched from identified reference lists. RESULTS Eighty-eight articles were identified (31 tactile, 12 auditory, 3 visual, 2 kinesthetic, 2 gustatory/olfactory and 37 multimodal). There was evidence to support the use of kangaroo care, music and language exposure, and multimodal interventions starting at 25 to 28 weeks postmenstrual age. These interventions were related to better infant development and lower maternal stress, but not all findings were consistent. Limitations included lack of consistent outcome measures, study quality and gaps in the literature. CONCLUSIONS Most research identified interventions that were done for short periods of time. It is unclear what the potential is for improving outcomes if positive sensory exposures occur consistently throughout NICU hospitalization. Until more research defines appropriate sensory-based interventions to use with infants born very preterm in the NICU, information from this review can be combined with expert opinion and parent/family values to determine best practice.

“…Music interventions have improved infant's vital signs, increased levels of quiet alert or quiet sleep states (Loewy, Stewart, Dassler, Telsey, & Homel, 2013), improved weight gain and reduced length of hospitalisation compared to a control group (Garunkstiene, Buinauskiene, Uloziene, & Markuniene, 2014;Saliba, Esseily, Filippa, Kuhn, & Gratier, 2017;Standley, 2012;van Der Heijden et al, 2016). The long-term effects have so far been insufficiently studied (Bieleninik et al, 2016;Haslbeck, 2012).…”

Singing, sharing, soothing – biopsychosocial rationales for parental infant-directed singing in neonatal pain management

Infant-directed singing is a medium for parents and infants to communicate in a mutual relationship. Parental infantdirected singing is a multisensory, biopsychosocial communication that applies to ill and vulnerable hospitalised infants. The primary musical features of infant-directed singing are ideal for emotional coordination and sharing between parent and infant without the risk of over-stimulation. In this article, we suggest that parental infant-directed singing is regarded as a nonpharmacological emotion regulation intervention, which may modify the painful experience for both the infant and the parent before, during and after painful procedures in the neonatal intensive care context. Parents have the biopsychosocial resources to alleviate their infant's pain through infant-directed singing, if they are empowered to do so and coached in this process. A music therapist specialised in neonatal music therapy methods can mentor parents in how to use entrained and attuned live lullaby singing in connection to painful procedures. Pain and the vast amount of painful procedures early in infancy, combined with early parent-infant separation and lack of parental participation in the care of the infant during neonatal intensive care, place arduous strain on the new family's attachment process and on the infant's and parents' mental health, both from a short and long-term perspective. Therefore, we argue with biopsychosocial rationales, that live parental infant-directed singing should be promoted in neonatal pain care worldwide. Consequently, parents should be welcomed round the clock and invited as prescribed pain management for their infant.
