Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Music therapy is a medical discipline that employs music as a means of communication and a conduit to enhance various aspects of life, including physical health, mental wellness, perception, emotions, social interaction, and overall quality of life. It selects musical elements based on scientific research to achieve therapeutic goals tailored to each individual.
Research synthesis typically involves systematically analyzing literature on music therapy, focusing primarily on its application to specific diseases or groups. Researchers highlight the importance of studying and evaluating musical interventions in healthcare settings in Thailand from 2010 to 2021. This synthesis includes 46 studies examining publication trends, research methods, content, and the effectiveness of musical activities.
The research findings reveal that a majority of studies on musical interventions in Thai healthcare settings during 2010–2021 were published in Scopus-indexed journals. Most studies employed comparative methodologies involving two or more groups, with a preference for targeted or specialized groups. Results from applying musical activities in therapy among musicians and researchers from diverse fields indicated significant differences across various study areas, highlighting up to 10 distinct findings.
