Music therapy with cancer patients Musicoterapia com pacientes com câncer
Cancer is the second leading cause of death
in the United States, in Germany and in many other industrialized countries. In
2007, about 12 million people were diagnosed with cancer worldwide with a
mortality rate of 7.6 million (American Cancer Society, 2007). In the
industrial countries, the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men are prostate
cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Women are most commonly diagnosed
with breast cancer, gastric cancer and lung cancer.
The symptoms of cancer depend on the type of
the disease, but there are common symptoms caused by cancer and/or by its
medical treatment (e.g., chemotherapy and radiation). Common physical symptoms
are pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, nausea (feeling sick,
vomiting), dizziness, limited physical activity, hair loss, a sore mouth/throat
and bowel problems. Cancer also often causes psychological problems such as
depression, anxiety, mood disturbances, stress, insecurity, grief and decreased
self-esteem. This, in turn, can implicate social consequences. Social isolation
can occur due to physical or psychological symptoms (for example, feeling too
tired to meet friends, cutting oneself off due to depressive complaints).
Besides conventional pharmacological
treatments of cancer, there are treatments to meet psychological and physical
needs of the patient. Psychological consequences of cancer, such as depression,
anxiety or loss of control, can be counteracted by psychotherapy. For example,
within cognitive therapy cancer patients may develop coping strategies to
handle the disease. Research indicates that music therapy, which is a form of
psychotherapy, can have positive effects on both physiological and
psychological symptoms of cancer patients as well as in acute or palliative
situations.
There are several definitions of music
therapy. According to the World Federation of Music Therapy (WFMT, 1996), music
therapy is: “the use of music and/or its music elements (sound, rhythm, melody
and harmony) by a qualified music therapist, with a client or group, in a
process designed to facilitate and promote communication, relationship,
learning, mobilization, expression, organization, and other relevant
therapeutic objectives, in order to meet physical, emotional, mental, social
and cognitive needs”.
The Dutch Music Therapy Association (NVCT,
1999) defines music therapy as “a methodological form of assistance in which
musical means are used within a therapeutic relation to manage changes,
developments, stabilisation or acceptance on the emotional, behavioural,
cognitive, social or on the physical field”.
The assumption is that the patient's musical
behaviour conforms to their general behaviour. The starting points are the
features of the patient's specific disorder or disease pattern. There is an
analogy between psychological problems and musical behaviour, which means that
emotions can be expressed musically. For patients who have difficulties in
expressing emotions, music therapy can be a useful medium. Music therapy might
be a useful intervention for breast cancer patients in order to facilitate and
enhance their emotional expressivity. Besides analogy, there are further
qualities of music that can be beneficial within therapeutic treatment. One of
these qualities is symbolism: music can symbolize persons, objects,
incidents, experiences or memories of daily life. Therefore, music is a
reality, which represents another reality. The symbolism of the musical reality
enables the patient to deal safely with the other reality for it evokes
memories about persons, objects or incidents. These associations can be
perceived as positive or negative, so they release emotions in the patient.
Music therapy both addresses physical and
psychological needs of the patient. Numerous studies indicate that music
therapy can be beneficial to both acute cancer patients and palliative cancer
patients in the final stage of disease.
Most research with acute cancer patients
receiving chemotherapy, surgery or stem cell transplantation examined the
effectiveness of receptive music therapy. Listening to music during
chemotherapy, either played live by the music therapist or from tape has a
positive effect on pain perception, relaxation, anxiety and mood. There was
also found a decrease in diastolic blood pressure or heart rate and an
improvement in fatigue; insomnia and appetite loss could be significantly
decreased in patients older than 45 years. Further improvements by receptive
music therapy were found for physical comfort, vitality, dizziness and
tolerability of the chemotherapy. A study with patients undergoing surgery
found that receptive music therapy led to decreased anxiety, stress and relaxation
levels before, during and after surgery. Music therapy can also be applied in
palliative situations, for example to patients with terminal cancer who live in
hospices.
Studies indicate that music therapy may be beneficial for cancer patients in acute and palliative situations, but the benefits of music therapy for convalescing cancer patients remain unclear. Estudos indicam que a musicoterapia pode ser benéfica para pacientes com câncer em situações agudas e paliativas, mas os benefícios da musicoterapia para pacientes com câncer convalescentes permanecem obscuros.
Whereas music therapy interventions for acute and palliative patients often focus on physiological and psychosomatic symptoms, such as pain perception and reducing medical side-effects, music therapy with posthospital curative treatment could have its main focus on psychological aspects. Enquanto as intervenções musicoterapêuticas para pacientes agudos e paliativos muitas vezes se concentram em sintomas fisiológicos e psicossomáticos, como percepção da dor e redução de efeitos colaterais médicos, a musicoterapia com tratamento curativo pós-hospitalar poderia ter seu foco principal nos aspectos psicológicos.
A cancer patient is not free from cancer until five years after the tumour ablation. The patient fears that the cancer has not been defeated. In this stage of the disease, patients frequently feel insecure, depressive and are emotionally unstable. How to handle irksome and negative emotions is an important issue for many oncology patients. After the difficult period of the medical treatment, which they often have overcome in a prosaic way by masking emotions, patients often express the wish to become aware of themselves again. They may wish to grapple with negative emotions due to their disease. Other patients wish to experience positive feelings, such as enjoyment and vitality. Um paciente com câncer não está livre do câncer até cinco anos após a ablação do tumor. O paciente teme que o câncer não tenha sido derrotado. Nesta fase da doença, os pacientes frequentemente sentem-se inseguros, deprimidos e emocionalmente instáveis. Como lidar com emoções negativas e cansativas é uma questão importante para muitos pacientes oncológicos. Após o difícil período do tratamento médico, que muitas vezes superaram de forma prosaica, mascarando as emoções, os pacientes muitas vezes expressam o desejo de voltar a ter consciência de si mesmos. Eles podem querer lidar com emoções negativas devido à sua doença. Outros pacientes desejam experimentar sentimentos positivos, como prazer e vitalidade.
The results indicate that music therapy can also have positive influences on well-being of cancer patients in the post-hospital curative stage as well as they offer valuable information about patients' needs in this state of treatment and how effects can be dealt with properly. Os resultados indicam que a musicoterapia também pode ter influências positivas no bem-estar dos pacientes com câncer na fase curativa pós-hospitalar, bem como oferece informações valiosas sobre as necessidades dos pacientes neste estado de tratamento e como os efeitos podem ser tratados adequadamente.
