“…Hilliard (2003) showed how music therapy in the patient’s home was used to ease the experience of the patient’s deteriorating condition in the terminal phase. In general, there appears to be justification for a music therapy programme which is both flexible and dynamic to best accommodate the patient’s individual needs and shifting location (Giordano et al, 2021; McLeod and Starr, 2021; Steinhardt et al, 2021).…”

“…Music therapy is able to meet the multifaceted needs of patients and families, impact emotional well-being and facilitate self-expression (Hodkinson et al, 2014; Rapoport and Weingarten, 2014). Music therapy improves patients’ and families’ quality of life by relieving symptoms, addressing psychological needs, offering support and comfort, facilitating communication, increasing the ability to cope with stress and meeting spiritual concerns (Daveson and Kennelly, 2000; Giordano et al, 2021; Hilliard, 2003; Hodkinson et al, 2014; Lindenfelser et al, 2008, 2012; Rapoport and Weingarten, 2014). According to Lindenfelser et al (2012),the flexibility and responsivity practised by Music Therapists are well suited for families supporting a child with a life-limiting illness, as their needs are varied and ever-changing.…”

“…Some of the themes explored during music therapy may also be similar among the age groups, including feelings of fear, pain, separation, and the need for self-expression. It is vital that the approach offers patients opportunities for choice and control (Amadoru and McFerran, 2007; Giordano et al, 2021; Hodkinson et al, 2014). The music therapy sessions must also be individualised to the patients’ needs.…”

The aim of this scoping review is to summarise the existing empirical evidence and produce an overview of the ways in which music therapy in paediatric palliative care is described in the literature, with a specific focus on hospital-at-home. It was performed through searches undertaken in eight databases and completed using the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. The findings of the scoping review indicate the following: (1) there is no clear definition of music therapy in paediatric palliative care; (2) there is limited research on paediatric palliative care; (3) music therapy in hospital-at-home offers isolated patients and families a feeling of connectedness; (4) both expressive and receptive music therapy approaches are included in the existing studies, emphasising the need to adapt to the patient’s age, abilities, interests and energy levels; and (5) the outcomes of the music therapy discussed in the literature focus on enhancing the quality of life. Overall, music therapy appears to be an asset for the interdisciplinary team working to improve quality of life, but research methods which respond specifically to the voices of the children and adolescents must be developed to improve paediatric palliative care further.

“…Active and receptive MT interventions are based on building a therapeutic relationship between the patient, the music, and the MTt. Compared to other types of approaches which also use music, literature indicates that MT is more effective ( Mondanaro et al, 2020 ; Bradt et al, 2013 ; Fallek et al, 2020 ), especially in pediatric contexts ( Giordano, Rutigliano, Muggeo, Fusaro, & Santoro, 2021 ; Stegemann, Geretsegger, Phan Quoc, Riedl, & Smetana, 2019 ; Uggla, Mårtenson Blom, Bonde, Gustafsson, & Wrangsjö, 2019 ). In T1 and T3, MT was integrated into patient care throughout the entire interactive preparation process.…”

During COVID-19 pandemic, Italian pediatric oncology departments were obliged to adopt restrictive measures to minimize the risk of in-hospital infections in frail patients and staff members. Access to the wards was significantly reduced and music therapy (MT) activities were suspended. The aim of this study was to compare the level of anxiety and sedation in pediatric patients undergoing invasive procedure before (T1), during(T2) and after(T3) the pandemic, with and without the presence of MT. From January to September 2020, all children aged 2-15 with oncological and hematological diseases undergoing to invasive procedure were enrolled. During T1 and T3 children received preoperative preparation with MT by a certified music-therapist. In T2 they received music or video by clinical staff. Preoperative anxiety scores were measured with the m- YPAS scale. Interviews with mothers were performed. The average consumption of drugs used was analyzed. Significant differences in preoperative anxiety levels between scores in T1, T2 (p.value = 0,0000014) and in T2, T3 (p.value = 0,0000031) were observed. No difference between T1-T3 (p.value = 0,96). Higher dosage of midazolam in T2 (1,14 mg 0,189) compared to T1 (0, 71 mg 0,399) and T2 (1,14 mg 0,189) were observed. Mothers also recorded higher scores on anxiety and stress without music therapy.

Music therapy (MT) is a complementary therapy offered to children, young adults, and their families in pediatric oncology and palliative care. We performed a survey to collect information about MT in pediatric oncology in Italy. The outbreak of COVID-19 unavoidably changed the scenario of MT, suggesting some considerations presented in this survey. 27/32 (84.4%) centers belonging to the Infections and Supportive Therapy Working Group of Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AEIOP) completed in 2 different time points (T1 and T2) an online survey on MT, before and after COVID-19 pandemia. Different kinds of music approach were used taking care of patients in 21/27 centers, while in 14/21 (66%), a specific project of MT conducted by a music therapist was present. In 6/14 centers, MT activities were delivered for < 3 h/week, in 3 centers for > 3 and < 10 h/week, and in the remaining 5 for > 3 h/week. MT sessions were in different areas, day hospital, or ward (patient rooms, operating rooms, waiting rooms), on an individual basis or by groups. Patients were invited to MT by psychologists, caring physician, or nurse, or on equipé decision. MT was evaluated with tools self-made by music therapist in 11/14 centers. After COVID-19, MT has been withdrawn in 3 centers, sessions in the waiting rooms were reduced, individual sessions were preferred, and enrollment by multidisciplinary teams increased. Conclusion : This survey represents the starting platform to compare and discuss different experience of MT in AIEOP centers, to implement MT in pediatric oncology for a more qualified assistance to patients, and to improve quality of care. What is Known: • Music therapy in pediatric oncology and palliative care can be used for the management and prevention of various somatic and psychological symptoms of patients and often is provided to children together with their families. • In Italy the application of Music therapy in the AIEOP pediatric oncology centers is constantly increasing, but due to the outbreak of Covid-19 Pandemic, Italian pediatric oncology departments were obliged to adopt restrictive measures. What is New: • Although the majority of Centres did not abrogate MT interventions, judgment about limitation should be carefully taken since MT helps children and even more adolescents in their fight against cancer. • The best practice of Music therapy in pediatric oncology requires communication and collaboration among qualified music therapists and multidisciplinary care team, using a model of family-centered care that actively involves parents/ caregivers in assessment, treatment planning, and care delivery.
