ABSTRACT

Introduction: Music therapy is used as an adjunct oncological treatment aiming at the improvement of psychological and physical well-being through music. A growing body of randomized and non-randomized controlled trials has been published and reviewed recently. However, a global, quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of music therapy in adult cancer care is missing. The present study thus aims to synthesize the evidence of music therapy in different oncological treatment phases. Methods: We conducted a pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO-ID: CRD42019133084) following standard guidelines. We searched electronic databases for studies on music therapy performed by a therapist with adult cancer patients. Results: The narrative synthesis included thirty studies showing that music therapy overall had positive effects on a broad range of outcomes, with techniques and effects varying in different phases. During curative treatment, results were most promising with regard to anxiety, depression, and pain medication intake, while in palliative settings, improvements with regard to quality of life, spiritual well-being, pain, and stress were reported. Twenty-one studies were included in the meta-analysis which showed small but significant effects of music therapy on psychological well-being (d = 0.35, p < 0.001), physical symptom distress (d = -0.26, p = 0.017), and quality of life (d = 0.36, p = 0.023). Heterogeneity between effect sizes was small to medium. Moderator analyses identified studies with a single session of music therapy and the use of receptive techniques to produce larger effects regarding psychological well-being. Conclusion: Music therapy can improve relevant health-outcomes in cancer patients and should therefore be offered in various treatment phases. Future research should include potential moderators such as individual information about patients to find out who benefits most from different kinds of music therapy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Music-based interventions are considered an effective and low-cost treatment option for stress-related symptoms. The present study aimed to examine the trajectories of the psychophysiological response in apparently healthy participants during a music-based relaxation intervention compared to a verbal relaxation exercise. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 70 participants were assigned to either receptive live music (experimental group) or a prerecorded verbal relaxation exercise (control group). Self-ratings of relaxation were assessed before and after each intervention on visual analogue scales and the Relaxation Inventory (RI). The heart rate variability (HRV) was continuously recorded throughout the sessions. Statistical analysis focused on HRV parameters indicative of parasympathetic cardiovascular outflow. RESULTS: We found significant quadratic main effects for time on the mean R-R interval (heart rate), the high-frequency power of HRV (indicative of parasympathetic activity), and the self-ratings of relaxation in both groups. A significant group × time interaction was observed for the cognitive tension subscale of the RI. CONCLUSIONS: Participants in both groups showed psychophysiological changes indicative of greater relaxation over the course of the interventions. However, differences between groups were only marginal. Music might be effective in relieving stress and promoting relaxation by altering the autonomic nervous system function. Future studies need to explore the long-term outcomes of such interventions.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão teórica a respeito dos mitos familiares. Aborda conceitos a respeito dos elementos que os constituem, tais como padrões de comunicação familiar, rituais familiares, lealdade à família e diferenciação. Descreve estudo realizado com estudantes do curso de psicologia onde os mitos familiares foram identificados a partir de alguns de seus componentes, estabelecendo correlação entre os mitos culturais e os mitos familiares(AU)

ABSTRACT

Work-related injuries among veterinarians are a major problem, but little is known of the specific risk factors involved. The purpose of this nested case-control study, conducted from a comprehensive population-based study of practicing Minnesota veterinarians, was to identify risk factors for job-related injuries. We questioned cases (N = 193) on exposures occurring in the month before their injury, and we questioned controls (N = 495) on exposures occurring in a randomly selected month. We used logistic regression to model the dependence of veterinary work-related injury on each exposure of interest and associated confounders. We observed increased rates for prior injuries (RR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.1-2.6), participation in sports (RR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.05-2.6), no sharps boxes present (RR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.01-3.2), current smoking (RR = 4.1, 95% CI = 1.8-9.1), and 6 or fewer hours of sleep (RR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.0-3.3). We identified a dose response for lifting patients, as follows: lifting 41-75 lb (RR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.6-5.9), lifting 76-100 lb (RR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.6-5.9), and lifting more than 100 lb (RR = 6.1, 95% CI = 2.5-15.0). Decreased rates were observed for participation in aerobic activities (RR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.4-0.99), perception of lower risk (RR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2-0.9), and experience (RR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.4-0.9).

ABSTRACT

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar mitos familiares existentes na escolha dos estudantes do curso de Psicologia da Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB) com descendência germânica. Caracterizou-se por ser um estudo qualitativo, de caráter exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por cinco estudantes de cada ano cursado, regularmente matriculados no primeiro semestre de 2001. Para a obtenção dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas conforme roteiro pré-estabelecido, bem como a confecção de um genograma para cada sujeito pesquisado. Os resultados foram analisados com base na análise do discurso dos alunos, sendo elencadas a priori as seguintes categorias para análise: lealdade à família, padrões de comunicação e rituais familiares. Os resultados obtidos identificaram a presença do mito do sucesso, do mito da propriedade, do mito da conquista e do mito do povo trabalhador nas escolhas profissionais dos estudantes pesquisados. Identificou-se também o mito da união, o mito da religião e o mito do poder nas famílias dos alunos pesquisados. Os compromissos de lealdade à família foram observados em todos os casos analisados. Os estudantes pesquisados optaram por áreas da Psicologia que se relacionam às expectativas das mães e das avós. Os padrões de comunicação existentes nas famílias de dois dos entrevistados foram contraditórios e um deles foi explícito. Os rituais familiares que foram identificados na família dos estudantes pesquisados dizem respeito a rituais religiosos. Os rituais familiares ligados ao trabalho denotaram distribuição eqüitativa das tarefas entre os filhos em um dos casos estudados; em outro, houve a distinção dos méritos obtidos conforme o sexo, ressaltando as conquistas masculinas. Na análise dos genogramas, observou-se repetição de profissões ou áreas de atuação em todos os casos estudados, o que reafirmou os compromissos de lealdade existentes nas famílias (AU)
