Unforgetting Music : Exploring the role of music in the daily lives of people with dementia living at home.

Samenvatting

People with dementia (PwD) risk a deterioration in quality of life (QoL) as the dementia progresses. A growing number of studies show that music can increase QoL. Unfortunately, loss of initiative and problems during product-use hinder access to music. In this paper we first depict a gap in knowledge on the needs of PwD in relation to listening to music in daily life. We then describe how we applied contextmapping to gain in-depth insights in the role of music in the daily lives of PwD, using an ‘activity case’ and semi-structured interviews. Finally, we discuss the insights gained from a thematic analysis of these interviews and explain how these insights contribute to the current body of knowledge and provide pointers for future studies.
