PhD Thesis by Julie Kolbe Krøier
Short summery
Exploring person-attuned musical interactions in dementia care. A flexible research design
This PhD project explores non-verbal and musical interactions between people with advanced dementia and their caregivers, termed person-attuned musical interactions. The thesis explores these musical interactions from the perspectives of both music therapists and social and health care workers to contribute to an interdisciplinary understanding of how musical interaction can be used in dementia care and strengthen non-verbal interaction with people with dementia.
To match the musical interaction with the person's psychosocial needs, the social and health care worker must engage in the interaction and adapt the pace and timing of his or her actions. Using person-attuned musical interaction can thus strengthen communication in a care giving situation and create a sense of security for the person with dementia. Music therapists can support social and health care workers in performing person-attuned musical interaction as well as verbalize the non-verbal and musical interactions.
