Abstract
The purpose of the current systematic review was to examine the effects of music interventions on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A systematic search of CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases was performed. Studies examining the effects of music interventions on cognitive function in older adults with MCI were included. Narrative synthesis for cognitive outcomes postintervention was performed. A total of 11 articles met inclusion criteria. Music interventions significantly improved global cognitive function, verbal fluency, executive function, and spatial function in older adults with MCI. Included studies were heterogeneous in terms of the type of intervention, cognitive assessment tool, and intervention duration. Six studies were at risk of bias due to missing data and confounding factors. Our findings suggest that music interventions can be an effective strategy to improve cognitive function for older adults with MCI. However, findings should be interpreted with caution. More rigorous studies with various types of music interventions investigating cognitive domain-specific effects are needed. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 16(5), 259-268.].
本系统综述的目的是研究音乐干预对轻度认知障碍(MCI)老年人认知功能的影响。对CINAHL、PubMed、PsycINFO和Web of Science数据库进行了系统搜索。研究了音乐干预对患有MCI的老年人认知功能的影响。对干预后的认知结果进行叙述性综合。共有11篇文章符合入选标准。音乐干预显著改善了MCI老年人的整体认知功能、语言流利性、执行功能和空间功能。纳入的研究在干预类型、认知评估工具和干预持续时间方面是异质的。由于数据缺失和混杂因素,六项研究存在偏倚风险。我们的研究结果表明,音乐干预可以成为改善老年MCI患者认知功能的有效策略。然而,应谨慎解读调查结果。需要对各种类型的音乐干预进行更严格的研究,以调查认知领域的特定影响。[老年护理研究,16(5),259-268。
期刊介绍:
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
