Music therapy in the neonatal intensive care unit.

چکیده
Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) face many challenges to their health and survival. The combination of stress, pain, isolation from parents, aversive stimuli and multiple caregivers in the NICU can intensify their challenges. To address from a music therapy perspective some of the negative effects of the NICU on premature infants, I conducted a pilot study at MCP Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania using live singing. Findings suggest that music therapy can play a valuable and unique role in the developmental care of infants in the NICU.
