Study Summary
Music therapy, a frequently used arts-based therapy, has become standard palliative care in many pediatric and adult hospitals; however, few studies have examined the mechanisms by which music therapy interventions work. This study investigates behavioral, social, and psychological factors that may explain how an Active Music Engagement (AME) intervention (i.e., an interactive, music-based play intervention) works to manage emotional distress and improve positive health outcomes in parents and young children with cancer during treatment. Findings will provide scientific and clinically relevant practice knowledge to guide delivery of music therapy as a complementary therapy.
Primary Outcome
Family Normalcy is assessed through The Family Management Measure (FaMM) - Family Life Difficulty Subscale includes 14-items rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Subscale items address parents' perceptions of the extent to which having a child with a chronic condition makes family life difficult. Higher values indicate more difficulty managing the condition. Score range 14 - 70.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Active Music Engagement
- BEHAVIORAL Audio Storybooks
