Musicoterapia no atendimento domiciliar

This article shows the initial results of a Music therapy research, conducted with elder people in a home care setting. Aiming to observe the possible benefits from Music therapy, 33 people who received care from a partner institution were randomly separated into a Control and Intervention group. The Intervention group participated of a 10 sessions Music Therapy program, during 21 weeks, and had access to supporting videos, which had person-specific content. The Control group had no Music Therapy session but received their standard care. The initial and final assessments were done in a blind experiment through recording, using the SEMPA scale (INGELMO, 2012) in order to evaluate the psychomotor, perceptual-cognitive, communicational and socio-emotional dimensions of the participants. The results showed that the initial assessments were always superior in both groups. Future analysis, with other scales, will be made to the ongoing research, along with a verification of the initial results
