“…The data extraction tool captured data on the characteristics of included studies, including the methods, participants, analysis and findings for both quantitative studies and qualitative studies, as well as the key conclusions of the study authors and references to other relevant studies. The tool was modified for the current study with integration of the Reporting Guidelines for Music-based Interventions [ 52 ], to enable detailed information on intervention content to be extracted.…”

Background Music therapy interventions with informal carers of individuals with life-threatening illness at pre- and post-bereavement is an increasingly important clinical area. This systematic review is the first to synthesise and critically evaluate the international evidence associated with music therapy with adult informal carers pre- and post-bereavement. Specifically, the objectives were: i) to describe the characteristics and effectiveness of music therapy interventions which aim to improve health-related outcomes for adult informal carers of adults with life-threatening illness (pre- and post-bereavement), and ii) to describe the experience of music therapy for adult informal carers of adults with life-threatening illness (pre- and post-bereavement). Methods Eligibility: adult informal carers of adults at end of life or bereaved; music therapy interventions for improving health-related outcomes; qualitative; mixed-method; and quantitative studies including comparators of any other intervention; published in English from 1998 onwards. Six databases were searched up to July 2022. A JBI mixed-methods systematic review approach was followed throughout, including quality appraisal, data extraction and a convergent segregated approach to synthesis and integration. Results A total of 34 studies were included, published between 2003 and 2022. Most were conducted in North America (n = 13), Australia (n = 10), or Europe (n = 8). No studies were conducted in low- and middle-income countries or in the UK. The majority were qualitative (n = 17), followed by quasi-experimental (n = 8), mixed-methods (n = 7) and two RCTs. The majority focused on carers of individuals with dementia (n = 21) or advanced cancer (n = 7). Seventeen studies were purely quantitative or included a quantitative component. During meta-synthesis, findings were aligned to core outcomes for evaluating bereavement interventions in palliative care and previously identified risk factors for complicated grief. Commonly targeted outcomes in quantitative studies included quality of life and mental wellbeing, showing equivocal effectiveness of music therapy with significant and non-significant results. Twenty-two studies either purely qualitative or with a qualitative component underwent meta synthesis and suggested a diverse range of improved pre- and post-bereavement outcomes for informal carers across all core outcomes, and across all risk and protective factors, including psychological, spiritual, emotional, and social outcomes. Conclusions Qualitative studies provide moderate to strong evidence for improved health-related outcomes for adult informal carers of adults with life-threatening illness pre-bereavement. Limited studies including those bereaved negates conclusions for the bereavement phase. Comparisons and explanations for effectiveness across quantitative and qualitative studies are equivocal, with a high risk of bias and small samples in the limited number of quantitative studies, demonstrating a need for high-quality RCTs.

“…Instead, the findings are presented in narrative form including tables and figures to aid in data presentation, where appropriate. The narrative is structured in line with the Reporting guidelines for music-based interventions [ 52 ] and outcomes are mapped where relevant against previously identified predictors of PGD [ 14 ].…”

“…The Reporting Guidelines for Music-based Interventions are available through the Equator Network and in the past six years referenced by authors in ninety-five publications, including nine review articles. [18, 19] Based on recent reviews, several areas of reporting continue to be problematic including the absence of intervention theory or scientific rationale for the specified use of music,[20–22] details about the music used, [21–26] and information about who selected the music (patient, investigator, or therapist based on assessment). [25–27]…”

“…In this study, we seek to address the lack of literature on the music listening experiences of adults on the autism spectrum. The literature on the musicking experiences of persons on the autism spectrum primarily focuses on children’s experiences (Bakan et al, 2018; Epstein et al, 2020; Janzen & Thaut, 2018; Markworth, 2014; Reschke-Hernández, 2012; Wagener et al, 2021; Whipple, 2004). Consequently, literature that focuses particularly on the music listening experiences of adults on the autism spectrum is sparse (Allen & Heaton, 2010; Wiorkowski, 2012).…”

This study focused on the role music listening experiences play in the lives of three South African adults on the autism spectrum. The purpose of this interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is to understand the role that music listening plays in the lives of three adults living with autism. IPA considers three key areas of philosophical knowledge, which include phenomenology, hermeneutics, and idiography. We, therefore, interpreted the role of music listening for our participants by highlighting similarities and differences between the participants’ lived experiences. The findings emerging from this study revealed five superordinate themes explaining the significance of music listening in the adults’ lives: (1) coping with auditory sensitivity, (2) getting lost in music, (3) music is a companion, (4) self-regulation, and (5) finding connection. The importance of music for masking or coping with sensory overload is distinct from the studies conducted to understand the music listening experiences of neurotypical individuals. It is our hope that the findings of this IPA provide rich idiographic descriptions of the individual experiences of our participants, thereby humanizing their music listening experiences.
