What About the Caregivers? Music Medicine as a Tool for Improving Psychological Well-Being Among Caregivers During Cancer Chemotherapy Treatment
Music medicine is a low-touch, low-risk, and cost-effective way to manage not only patient but also caregiver psychological well-being during chemotherapy. Listening to self-selected music for even a brief period leads to more positive mood and less distress in caregivers, providing evidence for recommending dyadic music medicine interventions during patients' infusion treatments.
