Summary

This study is of great importance because it uses a method that has not been tested in the past. To date, various interventions have been examined that use music for patients with dementia. At the same time, no intervention was conducted that integrates an additional person who shares personalized music with the patient.

If the combination of another person who shares the positive effect of the music with the patient is found to enhance the positive effect of the music, it can change the routine of work with dementia patients and may even reduce the use of tranquilizers among them.

In many cases, it has been found that one of the biggest challenges for family members who treat patients with dementia is the lack of content in the sessions and as a result, the growing sense of alienation between the patient and his family.

Listening to music can be a significant tool in the hands of the family, the main caregiver, the medical staff, and any person who comes in contact with the patient, a tool that can strengthen the sense of connection and connection between them.
