ABSTRACT

Music therapy therapy needs a variety of methods of allied fields to contribute scientific findings, including mathematics, natural sciences, behavioral and social sciences, as well as the arts. Neuroscientific research in music is giving rise to new ideas, perspectives, and methods; they seem to be promising prospects for a possible contribution to a theoretical and empirical scientific foundation for music therapy. The aim of our study is to assess the knowledge about the role of music therapy and its effects in the field of medicine. For this purpose, 100 participants were made to fill the questionnaire through an online survey link and the responses were analysed through descriptive statistics using SPSS software. The results are strongly positive and offer support for the use of music therapy in treating patients. It is also known that participation in music therapy significantly decreases post meal related anxiety and distress in comparison to standard post meal support therapy. This study provides support for the future funding of inpatient music therapy programs and contributes to the evidence base for the use of music therapy with this population.
