Mood Regulation Using Music: A Community Health Strategy for Improving Quality of Life in People With Mild Dementia

这项研究旨在通过使用音乐管理抑郁症的社区策略来提高痴呆症患者的生活质量。这一推动力来自我之前的研究，该研究表明，抑郁既影响人们使用音乐的方式，也影响它对听众的影响，这一因素在之前的研究中没有考虑到。这些发现将为开发一种在线工具奠定基础，该工具可促进患者和照顾者在多种环境中使用音乐有效地自我调节情绪。

This research aims to improve quality of life in people with dementia via community-based strategies for managing depression using music. The impetus comes from my prior research which shows that depression affects both the way people use music and its impact on the listener, a factor not considered in previous studies. Findings will lay the ground for development of an online tool for promoting effective self-regulation of mood with music for use by patients and caregivers in multiple settings.
