Music therapy for premature infants and their parents/caregivers:

Sounding Relation

(2023 - 2027)

Sounding Relation is an interdisciplinary, qualitative-dominant mixed-methods research project using video microanalysis to explore parent-infant interactions within the setting of music therapy in the neonatal intensive care unit. Our aim is to understand how parents musically contribute to the regulation of their infants and themselves within this intensive context. We are microanalytically analyzing video and audiorecordings from music therapy sessions that occurred during the LongSTEP project (see below). LongSTEP was a quantitative research project involving 213 families recruited from neonatal wards at eight hospitals in Argentina, Colombia, Israel, Norway and Poland.

Feedback from sites and participants in LongSTEP highlighted the importance of musical interaction between parents and infants, but such experiences were not reflected in the quantitative data. In Sounding Relation, we aim to identify what parents, infants, music therapists and staff do that support beneficial parent-infant regulation. The goal of new analysis of the video material is to arrive at a nuanced understanding of what happens in a musical meeting between parents and children, in a way that opens up for various perspectives.

The material from microanalysis will be taken into an interdisciplinary focus group consisting of parents, a professor of composition, a nurse, a music therapist, a music sociologist and a clinical psychologist. There they will look at the parents' contribution to interaction and the child's health from a socio-ecological perspective and emphasize the musical and aesthetic aspects of the newborn ward. 

 

LongSTEP 

(2018 - 2023)

"LongSTEP: Longitudinal Study of music Therapy's Effectiveness for Premature infants and their caregivers." This international, multi-site randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of music therapy on parent-infant bonding, infant development, and parental mental well-being. The trial was conducted in five countries, and in partnership with eight different neonatal intensive care units. LongSTEP was funded by the Research Council of Norway under the program BEHANDLING (grant no. 273534, grant period 2018 - 2022). LongSTEP is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03564184).

LongSTEP is an international project hosted by GAMUT – The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre, a twin center collaboration between NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS and University of Bergen. LongSTEP links NICUs in Bergen and Oslo with those in four other countries with similar social support cultures (Poland, Israel, Columbia & Argentina).

Music therapy was offered during NICU hospitalization, and for the first six months following discharge. The model enables parents to assume a central role in the care of their infant, with the music therapist providing support and coaching to enable parents to use their innate resources to promote developmentally-appropriate musical co-regulation of the parent/infant dyad, improve quality of interaction and enable healthy bonding during this vulnerable time. The long-term aim was to assure healthy infant/parent relation and improve infant developmental outcomes and promote parental psychological well-being over the first year of the infant’s life.
