Sažetak
Since June 2017, Receptive Music Therapy (RMT) has been applied as a part of the holistic approach for patients involved in an outpatient cardiovascular rehabilitation program at the Institute for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation in Zagreb. The intervention by applying RMT involves the systematic use of music and music interventions and the presence of an educated and registered music therapist. It is carried out by applying an individualized approach after cardiac examination, psychological tests and musical history have been conducted, i.e. after a thorough assessment of the patient's affinities to specific genres and types of music has been made. The RMT intervention is performed in 14 sessions, by listening to the music program on a professional headset, in a quiet environment in duration of 30 minutes. Psychophysical reactions to the music program are monitored, while the attributes of interest in the field of physical and psychological domains (restlessness, depression, tension, pain, sleep quality, range of motion, work capacity, concentration) are evaluated at the beginning and end of the RMT intervention. By stimulating the senses, music can have a positive effect on the behavior of an anxious patient if such music is close and recognizable to a patient and if it gives him/her a sense of safety. The expected effects are a reduction in behavioral, somatic, and psychological symptoms while lowering blood pressure and heart rate. The emphasis in the presentation will be placed on the acceptance of the intervention and the evaluation of the success of the therapeutic effect.
