Music therapy has consistently shown favourable efficacy in terms of improving the overall QoL of the patient, decreasing the associated burden of anxiety, depression and pain.…”

The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) has assessed and classified the effects of music in nursing care (Dochterman & Bulechek ) and the Joanna Briggs Institute has assigned a grade A to this type of holistic intervention, recognising it as a strong complementary element to traditional nursing care (Joanna Briggs Institute ).…”
