背景
研究表明，个性化的音乐聆听可以减少痴呆症患者的焦躁情绪并改善情绪。然而，很少有研究描述在老年人寄宿护理机构中实施此类干预措施的成本。
目的
确定对澳大利亚住院老年护理机构中患有痴呆症的老年人实施个性化音乐干预的费用。
方法
我们进行了一项简单的成本分析，以确定为新南威尔士州两家住宅老年护理机构的 32 名患有痴呆症的老年人提供个性化音乐干预的成本。该分析考虑了运营、培训和交付成本，以及购买音乐设备和下载的成本。
结果
按 2017 年的价格计算，提供个性化音乐干预的成本为每年 6,623.76 澳元，或每位居民每周 3.98 澳元。按照 2022 年的价值计算，这相当于 32 名居民的年度费用为 7,130.07 澳元（4,031.85 英镑），每位居民每周的每周费用为 4.28 澳元（2.42 英镑）。
结论
与痴呆症老年人住院老年护理的总体成本相比，实施个性化音乐干预的成本相对较低。
BACKGROUND
Individualised music listening has been shown to reduce agitation and improve mood in people with dementia. However, there is a paucity of research describing the cost of implementing such interventions in residential care settings for older people.
AIM
To determine the cost of implementing an individualised music intervention for older people with dementia in residential aged care in Australia.
METHOD
A simple cost analysis was undertaken to determine the cost of delivering the individualised music intervention to 32 older people with dementia at two residential aged care facilities in New South Wales. The analysis took into consideration the operating, training and delivery costs, as well as the costs of purchasing the music equipment and downloads.
RESULTS
The cost of delivering the individualised music intervention was found to be AU$6,623.76 per year - or AU$3.98 per resident per week, at 2017 values. At 2022 values, this equates to an annual cost of AU$7,130.07 (£4,031.85) for 32 residents and a weekly cost of AU$4.28 (£2.42) per resident per week.
CONCLUSION
The cost of implementing the individualised music intervention was relatively low compared with the overall cost of residential aged care for older people with dementia.
