A presente dissertação, teve como objetivo explorar os efeitos da musicoterapia em idosos com demência, como forma de aceder a aspetos da sua experiência pessoal, emocional e relacional. Embora já exista bastante literatura relativamente aos efeitos benéficos da musicoterapia nesta população, a maioria baseia-se unicamente em relatos de cuidadores formais e informais, e em variáveis específicas da sua experiência. Deste modo, pretendeu-se optar por uma abordagem mais abrangente e exploratória, sem variáveis pré-definidas, que se foque nos aspetos que vão surgindo, e que se vão mostrando naturalmente como parte integrante do seu processo terapêutico.
Partindo de uma abordagem qualitativa, foram realizadas sete entrevistas semiestruturadas, com uma musicoterapeuta, uma idosa sem demência do grupo, cuidadores e familiares, enriquecidas por cinco sessões de observação, com idosos com demência institucionalizados. As entrevistas foram realizadas presencial e remotamente, com duração média de 40 minutos, e as sessões de observação com duração de 45 minutos. Seguidamente, foi utilizada uma Análise Temática para as entrevistas, uma Análise de Conteúdo para as sessões de observação, e uma análise convergente, que
permitiu triangular os dados obtidos em ambas as fontes. Este projeto de investigação, vai de encontro às diretrizes aprovadas pela comissão de ética da instituição, tendo sido obtido o consentimento informado e os dados sociodemográficos de todos os participantes, incluindo a diretora da instituição (responsável pelos idosos).
Os dados obtidos, foram de encontro à literatura existente, revelando que embora os efeitos da musicoterapia nesta população se mostrem essencialmente transitórios, assumem relevância terapêutica, face à possibilidade de fomentar momentos de presença, vínculo, e expressão emocional. Verificou-se também que a utilização de música popular portuguesa, favorece a ligação à identidade pessoal e cultural dos idosos, assim como a sua regulação emocional
This dissertation aims to explore the effects of music therapy on elderly people with dementia as a way to access aspects of their personal, emotional, and relational experience. Although there is already a lot of literature on the beneficial effects of music therapy in this population, most of it is only based on reports from formal and informal caregivers, and on specific variables related to their experience. Therefore, we sought a more comprehensive and exploratory approach, without predefined variables, focusing on aspects that naturally emerge as an integral part of their therapeutic process. Using a qualitative approach, seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with a music therapist, an older adult without dementia from the group, caregivers, and family members, enriched by five observation sessions with institutionalized older adults with dementia. The interviews were conducted in person and remotely, lasting an average of 40 minutes, and the observation sessions lasted 45 minutes. Subsequently, Thematic Analysis was used for the interviews, Content Analysis for the observation sessions, and Convergent Analysis, which allowed triangulation of the data obtained from both sources. This research project complies with the guidelines approved by the institution's ethics committee, and informed consent and sociodemographic data were obtained from all participants, including the institution´s director (responsible for the elderly). The data obtained were consistent with existing literature, revealing that although the effects of music therapy in this population are essentially transient, they are therapeutically relevant, given the possibility of fostering moments of presence, connection, and emotional expression. It was also found that the use of Portuguese popular music favors connection with the elderly's personal and cultural identity, as well as their emotional regulation.
