Abstract
The purpose of this study was: 1)To survey the opinions towards music therapy of the multidisciplinary teams in palliative care settings in Northern Center Hospitals; 2) To study the work system of music therapists in providing music therapy services in palliative care settings; and 3) To study the needs and feasibility of providing music therapy services in palliative care settings in Northern Center Hospitals. This study employed an exploratory research method by collecting data from two sources: 1) Qualitative data were collected from 29 members of the multidisciplinary teams in palliative care settings in Northern Center Hospitals using a questionnaire to gather information regarding the opinions of the multidisciplinary teams; and 2) Further qualitative data were collected, through purposive sampling, from 3 specialist music therapists using semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded and transcribed for analysis. The data were analyzed descriptively, with supplementary discussions. The research results found that the majority of the multidisciplinary team members perceived the benefits and effectiveness of using music therapy for the patients and agreed with providing music therapy services in their own hospitals. Based on the interviews with the music therapists, it was found that the process of providing music therapy services required the music therapists to work with professionals in other areas to provide knowledge to the multidisciplinary teams involved in music therapy and to provide psychological support to the care teams. The process of providing music therapy services in palliative care followed the following steps: 1) Referral, 2) Assessment, 3) Intervention, 4) Documentation and evaluation, and 5) Termination. The results of the need and feasibility study showed that the multidisciplinary teams wished to incorporate music therapy into palliative care and to support the employment of music therapists in the Northern Center Hospitals because they saw the benefits and effectiveness of music therapy and saw that music therapists could work with other multidisciplinary teams in charge of palliative care.
