“…First, music helped to bridge preillness identity to present identity and facilitated reflection on existential issues. Renegotiating one's pre-illness identity and self-narratives in light of the severe "biographical disruption" caused by cancer is important for experiencing wellbeing in face of a life-threatening illness [21][22][23]. Similar to other studies [20,21], the data furthermore suggest that music gives meaning to people's life and embodies hope for survival.…”

“…Music has a role to play in well being [22] but personal choice is clearly an important factor in the benefits that can be expected. In contrast natural sounds are generally regarded as positive and especially water sounds as noted above in section 2 .2.…”

Influence of soundscape and interior design on anxiety and perceived tranquillity of patients in a healthcare setting

Tranquillity characterised by a pleasant but calming environment is often to be found in natural environments where man-made noise is at a low level though natural sounds can be relatively high. Numerous studies have shown a link between such restorative environments and hospital recovery rates, stress reduction, longevity, pain relief and even how the brain processes auditory signals. In hospitals and primary care facilities there is a need to improve patient waiting rooms as current designs are largely based solely on medical need. There are often long waits in such spaces and patients are coping with the stress and anxiety caused by their medical condition. Attention should therefore be given to creating "restorative environment" as a component to their medical treatment. The study describes the effects of introducing natural sounds and large images of natural landscapes into a waiting room in a student health centre. Using self reported levels of anxiety and tranquillity it was possible to assess the impact that these targeted auditory and visual interventions had in affecting the quality of the patient experience. Following the changes results show that levels of reported tranquillity were signicantly improved but there were smaller change in reported reductions in anxiety.

“…Recent research in England has drawn on psychosocial notions of identity, exploring the opportunities that arts can offer to reshape identities, particularly when these are damaged by illness (Daykin, 2005;Spandler et al, 2007). Studies have also drawn on sociological understandings of the role of arts in shaping and giving meaning to everyday experiences of health, illness and well-being (Batt-Rawden, Denora, & Ruud, 2005;DeNora, 2000).…”

This paper provides an overview of the current state of the arts and health field in England, through an examination of practice, research and policy developments. Five features of arts and health practice are identified: the scale of the sector, regional variations, mapping of arts and health initiatives, recent conferences and symposia, and the role of key agencies supporting arts and health initiatives. Eight areas of arts and health research activity are considered: retrospective qualitative evaluations, prospective evaluations with some quantitative assessments, experimental research on arts and health initiatives, economic evaluations of arts interventions, systematic reviews of arts and health research, theory development to underpin research efforts, and the establishment of dedicated arts and health research centres and research programmes. The final section considers three 2007 arts and health publications from the Department of Health and Arts Council England. There has been disappointment that the policy recommendations in these documents have not been acted upon. At the time of writing, however, there are some signs of renewed efforts to encourage national leadership from the Department of Health.
