Music Imagery for Patients in Protected Environments

高级别非霍奇金淋巴瘤和急性白血病的标准治疗包括强化化疗，这需要在保护性隔离中住院4周。在隔离病房接受治疗的患者可能会经历更高程度的心理困扰。除了急性白血病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者外，引导意象和音乐疗法都显示出作为改善癌症患者情绪的干预技术的前景。因此，本研究的总体目标是探讨音乐意象干预对一般焦虑、情绪、在接受急性白血病或高度非霍奇金淋巴瘤强化化疗的患者中，疲劳的影响。该试点计划采用实验重复测量设计来评估音乐图像干预对一般焦虑、情绪和疲劳的影响。60名患者的样本将被随机分配到标准治疗加音乐图像或标准治疗。被分配到标准护理加音乐想象组的个体将接受一个音乐治疗师每周45分钟的音乐想象会话。被分配到标准护理组的个体将接受标准治疗，其中包括住院进行诱导化疗。所有受试者将重复完成一般焦虑、情绪和疲劳的测量。

Standard treatment for high-grade, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute leukemia includes intensive chemotherapy, which requires a 4-week hospital stay in protective isolation. Patients treated in isolation units can experience elevated levels of psychological distress. Both guided imagery and music therapy have shown promise as intervention techniques to improve mood in cancer patients other than acute leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients Therefore, the overall goal of this study is to explore the effect of a music imagery intervention on general anxiety, affect, and fatigue in patients receiving intensive chemotherapy for acute leukemia or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma The proposed pilot utilizes an experimental repeated measures design to evaluate the effects of a music imagery intervention on general anxiety, affect, and fatigue. A sample of 60 patients will be randomly assigned to standard care plus music imagery or standard care. Individuals assigned to the standard care plus music imagery group will receive a 45-minute, weekly music imagery session with a music therapist. Individuals assigned to standard care will receive standard treatment, which includes hospital admission for induction chemotherapy. All subjects will complete repeated measures of general anxiety, affect, and fatigue.
