Brief summary
Hospitalized patients for Covid-19 are extremely isolated from their families for a long and uncertain period of time .This traumatic separation makes patients vulnerable to different degrees of stress disorders as well as depression and anxiety , fear of the unknown and dying, sleeplessness, agitation, discomfort, pain, immobility, frustration and inability to relax . MusicTtherapy has been shown to play a valuable role in the care of patients with serious illness, helping to address physical symptoms and psychological distress . The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of introducing Music therapy (MT) on site with Covid-19 patients as a supporting complementary/non-pharmacological intervention, to investigate the immediate effects a single MT session has on anxiety, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (O2Sat) and satisfaction compared to standard care. In order to verify the hypotheses of the study, an RCT (mixed-methods approach pre -post design) will be carried out on patients diagnosed with SARS-COV2 admitted to Covid Hospital Bari, randomized into two groups: control group (B) and treatment group (A). . The study starts on 15th April 2021 and it is expected to run for 1 mounth (15th May 2021). The study is funding by University of Bari.
