In this blog, I want to gather as many special and beautiful stories about the impact of music in healthcare as possible! That's why I'm asking all of you:
If you, your family or friends have a special experience showing the impact of music in healthcare, could you please contact me (Bas)?

Thanks a lot in advance, and I hope to get many responds, so that we can make the special power of music in healthcare obvious for everyone!
Kind regards,

Reading this article is like music to my ears! For the longest time, I’ve shared with other nurses that I believed music in the ICU would be so beneficial for patients. Not only the patients but families also. Not only in the ICU but on other patient floors as well. I hope this project’s goal comes to its fruition!
ReplyDeleteThank you Micheala! You're right, music can help a lot, everywhere in the hospital. We are with a very dedicated team to make this work!
DeleteI can speak to the benefits of music therapy first hand. AMITA Health/Adventist GlenOaks has a harpist who plays music for patients most Fridays. Not only the patients benefit! It was great for staff too (especially in a busy ICU)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your comment. The harp also sounds very magical! It's wonderful to hear that both the staff and patients all benefit from the soothing music.
DeleteI recommend music in Icu. I have seen patients doing better,especially long stay Icu patients who were critical.delirium incidence in our Icu was far less.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that music lowers stress levels in Physicians, Therapist, Nursing, housekeeping, visitors and patients! Proven in an ICU that I loved working in!
