Methods | Either RCT or quasi‐experimental design |
Participants | “Institutionalized” people with dementia (24), “in phases 5 and 6” (moderate to advanced dementia) |
Interventions | Intervention group: a form of group music therapy Control group: reminiscence‐recreation group |
Outcomes | Mood and cognition, perhaps also (social) behaviour |
Notes | Conference abstract. When a full report becomes available, the design needs careful evaluation (a ”quasi‐experimental study“ with a ”pre‐post test design with a control group“ wherein groups were ”randomly assigned to a music therapy group or a reminiscence group“) |
