  • Music Therapy with Preterm Infants During Kangaroo Care

    Open AccessAnna Carina Kriechbaum, Bernhard Csillag et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Background: Music therapy in neonatal care is a rising interdisciplinary interest in clinical practice and research. Studies showed that music therapy benefits preterm infants and their parents. We aimed to explore the possible influence of music therapy on physiological parameters in premature infants during skin-to-skin care and to assess the parents' perspectives on music therapy and participation in the research project. Methods: The feasibil…

  • Newborn Incubators Do Not Protect from High Noise Levels in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Are Relevant Noise Sources by Themselves

    Open AccessTanja Restin, Mikael Gaspar et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The incubator does protect only insufficiently from noise coming from the NICUThe transmitted frequency spectrum is changed, limiting the impact of NICU noise on the neonate, but also limiting the neonate's perception of voices. The incubator, in particular its fan, as well as alarms from patient monitors are major sources of noise. Further optimizations with regard to the sound exposure in the NICU, as well as studies on the role of the incubato…

  • Music Is Life—Follow-Up Qualitative Study on Parental Experiences of Creative Music Therapy in the Neonatal Period

    Open AccessFriederike Haslbeck, Lars Schmidli et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Developmental problems in extremely preterm (EP) infants and the associated longitudinal burden for their families are major health issues worldwide. Approaches to social-emotional support such as family-integrating Creative Music Therapy (CMT) are warranted. We aimed: (1) to explore parental perspectives on the use of CMT with EP infants in the neonatal hospitalization period and (2) to examine the possible longitudinal influence of CMT. A quali…

  • Creative Music Therapy with Premature Infants and Their Parents

    Open AccessSelina M Kehl, Pearl La Marca-Ghaemmaghami et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Premature birth is stressful for infants and parents and can adversely affect the parent-infant dyad. This mixed-methods pilot study evaluates whether creative music therapy (CMT) can alleviate anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms in parents and support the bonding process with their infant. Sixteen parent couples were included. Ten couples were randomly allocated to the music therapy group (MTG) and six to the control group (CG). All couples…

  • Creative music therapy with premature infants

    Friederike HaslbeckARTICLENordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi2016

    Background: Premature infants (PI) demonstrate a high incidence of white and grey matter abnormalities as well as neurobehavioral delay. Since individualized interactive experiences and music may alter brain development, the question arises as to whether Creative Music Therapy (CMT) might promote brain development by facilitating nurturing socio-emotional and auditory interactive experiences at the same time.Methods: A randomized controlled trial…

  • The interactive potential of creative music therapy with premature infants and their parents

    Friederike Barbara Haslbeck, Friederike HaslbeckARTICLENordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi2014Cited by: 14References: 53

    Findings of a previous video analysis of creative music therapy (CMT) with premature infants indicate that music therapy in neonatal care may contribute to more than the infant's stabilization and relaxation, as predominantly recognized in the literature to date. The aim of this paper is to further investigate the interactive potential of CMT, by comparing a larger number of cases. Video footage of music therapy sessions with 18 premature infants…

  • Creative music therapy with premature infants

    Friederike Barbara Haslbeck, Friederike HaslbeckARTICLENordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi2014Cited by: 8References: 42

    Music therapy with premature infants is a globally expanding field in neonatal care. However, to date, the interactive potential of active music therapy approaches with premature infants has received only limited attention in the literature. The aim of this paper is to evaluate possible patterns and types of relevant therapeutic change and interactions in creative music therapy with premature infants. The paper reports on the first phase of a lar…

  • Music therapy for premature infants and their parents

    Friederike Barbara Haslbeck, Friederike HaslbeckARTICLENordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi2012Cited by: 64References: 3

    Music therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a young but globally expanding field of interdisciplinary interest. This integrative review provides a comprehensive as well as method-overriding, interdisciplinary critical overview of empirical results on music therapy with premature infants and their parents in neonatal care covering evidence from 43 articles between 1970 and 2010. The research outcomes illustrate that music therapy s…
