Music therapy intervention as a means of stimulating the communication skills of seniors with neurocognitive disorders – theory versus practice

Summary/Abstract: This paper compares the opinions of helping professionals working in an elderly home with neurocognitive disorder patients with those of younger social work students. A comparative questionnaire survey analyzed differences in knowledge and experience with music therapy interventions. The survey assessed knowledge of effective memory and communication skill stimulation using music. The study is based on research on non-pharmacological approaches and music therapy lessons implemented since 2022. Results will inform a future scoping review.
