Dampak Positif Terapi Musik pada Pasien Kanker Anak

Studi baru menunjukkan terapi musik efektif dalam membantu pasien kanker anak mengatasi emosi negatif. Kerja sama antara Kids Rock Cancer dan Mayo Clinic menghasilkan dukungan penting untuk pasien. Layanan terapi musik gratis disediakan berkat donasi. Hasil penelitian akan dipresentasikan di konferensi internasional.

Maryville University’s Kids Rock Cancer (KRC) program, in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, has published a study showing that music therapy positively impacts young cancer patients. The research indicates that music therapy aids in coping with distress and provides a creative outlet for negative feelings during treatment. This significant finding was reported in the Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nursing.

Since the collaboration began in December last year, KRC and Mayo Clinic have produced valuable insights into music therapy, enhancing support for cancer patients in St. Louis. Crystal Weaver, Director of Music Therapy at KRC, emphasized, “Together with Mayo Clinic, so many more children can benefit from the power of music therapy. ” She noted that even short music therapy sessions can greatly impact negative emotions.

Findings from KRC and Mayo Clinic will be presented at the 17th International Family Nursing Conference in Perth, Australia. The music therapy services offered by Kids Rock Cancer are free for patients, sustained by the generosity of donors and community partners.

March is recognized as Music Therapy Awareness Month, celebrating the benefits of music therapy and the certified therapists who aid their patients through music’s healing power.

Kids Rock Cancer, part of Maryville University, aims to help families navigate cancer or blood disorder diagnoses. The program provides certified music therapists who use music and songwriting to facilitate self-expression among children and their families. A media kit is available for further details.
