“…During the last decade MT has build up an evidence base revealing promising indications of music’s curative potential in neurological as well as psychological disorders [6–11]. Recently the role of music in a wider health perspective of health promotion, that is music as a salutogenic agent, has been widely acknowledged.…”

Music as a possible health-promoting agent has attained increasing academic and scientific interest over the last decades. Nonetheless, possible connections between indigenous singing traditions and health beyond traditional ceremonial healing practices are still under-researched worldwide.The Sami, the indigenous people living in Northern Fennoscandia, have a distinct ancient vocal music tradition called “yoik” practiced from immemorial times. The Sami share a history of assimilation with many indigenous people. During this period of nearly 400 years, yoik alongside other cultural markers was under hard pressure and even banned at times.Compared to other indigenous people in the Arctic, Sami public health shows few significant unfavourable differences to the majority population. The potential role of yoik as a protective health and resilience factor within the Sami culture is the topic of this review. We suggest a two stage model for the health promoting effects of yoik through i) emotion regulation and stress relief on the level of the individual, and ii) as a socio-cultural resilience factors within the Sami population. This review is to be understood as theory-building review article striving for a scholarly review of the literature.

“…When patients undergo surgery, anxiety and depression can affect their physical and mental states; reducing these preoperative complications results in positive effects on the wellbeing of patients and is likely to positively influence the outcomes of surgery (Giaquinto et al, 2006). A non-pharmacological intervention such as music can improve global and social functioning in schizophrenia and/or serious mental disorders, gait and related activities in Parkinson's disease, depressive symptoms, and quality of sleep (Kamioka et al, 2014).…”

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of music on preoperative state anxiety and physiological parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate and mean systolic, and diastolic blood pressure in 60 patients undergoing general surgery. Methods: The study was designed as a randomized quasi-experimental trial. A total of 60 patients were allocated to two equal groups. Subjects in the trial group listened to non-vocal classical music through headphones for 20 minutes before entering the operating theater. State anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the physiological parameters by pulse CO-oximeter (Masimo RAD-57C, Finland). The results obtained were finally analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using chi-square and t-tests. Results: There was an insignificant difference in demographic data between the two groups (p > 0.05), but before and after listening to music, a significant difference was observed in state anxiety (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Significant differences in both state anxiety and physiological parameters confirmed that music as a non-pharmacological intervention can be used as a complementary tool in nursing care.

“…In view of the overarching objective of MT, which is to increase a patient's/client's life quality (cf. Boldt, 1996;Kamioka et al, 2014) referring music to one's Self in the process of the MT activities allows to preserve the integrity of one's behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, which is a fundamental strategy of a mentally healthy man's functioning. On the other hand, testing many forms of one's identity within diverse musical experiences (e.g., plays, games, spontaneous creativity) can further its development.…”

Participation in music therapy offers opportunities for the participants to engage in identity work -to define, develop, or reflect on their understanding of themselves, and to cultivate new expressions of self-identity. The music therapy involves breaking away from the reality and engaging in intense interactions, which in turn facilitate relationships between participants. Patients tend to be more open to new kinds of experiences and explore new ways of perceiving themselves and others. Their self-understanding develops and leads to self-acceptance and personal growth. Although questions concerning the relationship between music therapy and human identity have been asked since antiquity, many issues have still not been resolved. As of today, there are no publications that systematically review the current state of knowledge. This article aims to review the available empirical evidence in order to identify the relationship between music therapy processes, identity, and specific individual identity variables, such as self-esteem. Also, it attempts to discover how self-regulatory behavior relates to both general music instruction and interventions designed to enhance self-esteem and identity. We searched PubMed and PsycInfo up to 13.09.2016. Screening, eligibility, and data extraction were done by one reviewer. Out of 31 relevant records, 20 were assessed for eligibility, and 14 were included. There was marked variation across included studies regarding type of MT approach used, type of participants, settings, outcomes and measurement tools. A qualitative analysis showed that expression of emotion and a sense of agency (which is considered valuable for both the client and those around them) is a way to provide one's damaged Self with healthful aspects of personality, thus improving one's self-esteem. This review provides insight into the effects of music therapy processes, specifically self-knowledge (music identity) and self-esteem determined by the psychological processes entailed in some kinds of music activities.
