“…Music techniques are used to address motor function, social skills, emotional regulation, coordination, self-expression and personal growth across the lifespan, from neonates to seniors. Music therapy has been offered in the VHA for decades and recently has been integrated into interdisciplinary care models within the DoD [26]. Traditionally, evidence-based music therapy has been positioned in military healthcare as a clinical treatment that is conducted on-site (i.e., military installation or treatment facility) by a MT-BC [27].…”

Purpose: Telehealth provides psychotherapeutic interventions and psychoeducation for remote populations with limited access to in-person behavioural health and/or rehabilitation treatment. The United States Department of D efense and the Veterans Health Administration use telehealth to deliver primary care, medication management, and services including physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies for service members, veterans, and eligible dependents. While creative arts therapies are included in telehealth programming, the existing evidence base focuses on art therapy and dance/movement therapy, with a paucity of information on music therapy. Methods: Discussion of didactic and applied music experiences, clinical, ethical, and technological considerations, and research pertaining to music therapy telehealth addresses this gap through presentation of three case examples. These programmes highlight music therapy telehealth with military-connected populations on a continuum of clinical and community engagement: 1) collaboration between Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and the Acoke Rural Development Initiative in Lira, Uganda; 2) the Semper Sound Cyber Health programme in San Diego, CA; and 3) the integration of music therapy telehealth into Creative ForcesV R , an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts. Results: These examples illustrate that participants were found to positively respond to music therapy and community music engagement through telehealth, and reported decrease in pain, anxiety, and depression; they endorsed that telehealth was not a deterrent to continued music engagement, requested continued music therapy telehealth sessions, and recommended it to their peers. Conclusions: Knowledge gaps and evolving models of creative arts therapies telehealth for military-connected populations are elucidated, with emphasis on clinical and ethical considerations. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Music therapy intervention can be successfully adapted to accommodate remote facilitation. Music therapy telehealth has yielded positive participant responses including decrease in pain, anxiety, and depression. Telehealth facilitation is not a deterrent to continued music engagement. Distance delivery of music through digital platforms can support participants on a clinic to community continuum.

“…His score was 65, indicating moderate anxiety. International studies have shown that music therapy can improve the mood of patients, promote mental health, and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms[ 33 - 35 ]. Chu et al [ 36 ] and others have shown that music therapy can improve anxiety and depression in patients with Alzheimer's disease.…”

BACKGROUND In mirror-image dextrocardia, the anterior-posterior position of the cardiac chambers and great vessels is maintained, but the left-right orientation of the abdominal organs is reversed. The abnormal anatomy of the heart poses surgical challenges and problems in dealing with surgical risk and monitoring complications. There are few reports on closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) in dextrocardia and no reports on the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) following LAA occlusion (LAAO) procedures. CASE SUMMARY The objective for this case was to ensure perioperative safety and accelerate postoperative recovery from LAAO in a patient with mirror-image dextrocardia. ERAS was guided by the theory and practice of nursing care. Atrial fibrillation was diagnosed in a 77-year-old male patient, in whom LAAO was performed. The 2019 guidelines for perioperative care after cardiac surgery recommend that the clinical nursing procedures for patients with LAAO should be optimized to reduce the incidence of perioperative complications and ensure patient safety. Music therapy can be used throughout perioperative treatment and nursing to improve the anxiety symptoms of patients. CONCLUSION The procedure was uneventful and proceeded without complications. Anxiety symptoms were improved.

“…For patients with quadriplegia, singing can improve projected speech intensity and phonation length, as well as mood, with results maintained at six-month follow-up (766). For patients with blast injuries, music therapy supported breathing, strength endurance, range of motion, task attention, articulation, social integration, quality of life and motivation (767). Listening to music reduced agitation in patients with cognitive impairment following traumatic brain injury (768), while art therapy supported coping and acceptance (769).…”

Over the past two decades, there has been a major increase in research into the effects of the arts on health and well-being, alongside developments in practice and policy activities in different countries across the WHO European Region and further afield. This report synthesizes the global evidence on the role of the arts in improving health and well-being, with a specific focus on the WHO European Region. Results from over 3000 studies identified a major role for the arts in the prevention of ill health, promotion of health, and management and treatment of illness across the lifespan. The reviewed evidence included study designs such as uncontrolled pilot studies, case studies, small-scale cross-sectional surveys, nationally representative longitudinal cohort studies, community-wide ethnographies and randomized controlled trials from diverse disciplines. The beneficial impact of the arts could be furthered through acknowledging and acting on the growing evidence base; promoting arts engagement at the individual, local and national levels; and supporting cross-sectoral collaboration.
