Carolina CastillejosDébora Godoy-IzquierdoPublished in: Applied psychology. Health and well-being (2020)
This study demonstrates the effects of a planned music-based intervention on several health- and well-being-related outcomes and has important applications regarding the use of music as a complement in therapeutic interventions with elderly people. The implementation of music therapy within the comprehensive care of institutionalised people must be maintained over time for the effects to be durable.
