Nurse-Led Active Music Program in Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment
Sponsor: Universidad de Almeria
Summary
This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a structured, nurse-led active music program for older adults with cognitive impairment living in a long-term care facility. Participants took part in eight group music sessions delivered twice weekly over four consecutive weeks. The program included singing, rhythmic activities, seated movement, music-based reminiscence, cognitive stimulation, and social interaction. Feasibility and acceptability were the primary domains of interest. Cognitive function, depressive symptoms, active participation, sustained attention, and social interaction were also assessed as exploratory outcomes.

Nurse-Led Active Music Program
Participants received a structured, group-based active music program led by a registered nurse. The program consisted of eight sessions delivered twice weekly over four consecutive weeks, with each session lasting approximately 40 minutes. Sessions included temporal orientation, breathing exercises, group singing, recognition and completion of familiar songs, call-and-response singing, body percussion, simple percussion instruments, coordinated seated movements, autobiographical reminiscence, relaxation, and emotional expression. The musical repertoire was selected according to participants' biographical and musical preferences.
