Premature Family Music Therapy Intervention (PFMI) (PFMI)
Premature Family Music Therapy Intervention (PFMI): an Italian Protocol to Support Parenting, Attachment Bond and Preterm Development
The music therapy intervention it is dedicated to premature baby and their family at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)of the Woman-Child department "Hospital Del Ponte". In NICU an integrated psychological and music therapeutic protocol has been structured. The protocol aims to limit or overcome long-term developmental morbidities, promote parenting and attachment bond in preterm infants. Protocol is named "Premature family music therapy intervention (PFMI): an Italian protocol to support parenting, attachment bond and preterm development". The methodologies will provide early intervention from the first days of hospitalization in NICU and use music therapy sessions "active" (chant parental, live music and lullaby) and "receptive" (listening to recorded tracks). Such therapy becomes a support for the born prematurely and her parents during hospitalization and after discharge. The music therapy accompanies the newborn and his parents during the hospitalization and focuses its attention on the emotional-relational care, according to the different needs of babies and parents.
This protocol it is a Family Centered Care Music Therapy Intervention.
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
All infants will be enrolled when in stable clinical condition within two weeks after birth. Therapy sessions will take place minimum three times per week on three different days of the week directly at the unit during the entire hospitalization until discharge. After discharge music therapy treatment will be performed once a week until twelve months of corrected age.
The infant's wellbeing and relaxation during each session of music therapy will be measured using the following parameters:
HRV (Heart Rate Variability) analysis Oxygen's saturation Stress level of the child
Infants will be followed till 12 months of corrected age. Investigators will assess:
Neuro-behavioral and neurological development of the child Stress level of the parents

Experimental: Music Therapy Intervention
This protocol is a Family Centered Care Music Therapy Intervention. The methodologies will provide early intervention from the first days of hospitalization in NICU and consist of music therapy sessions both "active" (parental chant, live music and lullaby) and "receptive" (listening to recorded tracks). The music therapy accompanies the newborn and the parents during the hospitalization and focuses its attention on the emotional-relational care, according to the different needs that they will develop over time.Therapy sessions will be performed starting from three times per week, on three different days of the week, during the entire hospitalization of the enrolled infants. After discharge music therapy treatment will be performed once a week until twelve months of corrected age. Stress level of infants and parents and neurobehavioral and neurological development of children will be assessed. |
We have structured an integrated psychological and music therapeutic protocol that aims to limit or overcome neonatal long-term developmental morbidities, promote parenting and attachment bond in preterm infants.
|
No Intervention: No music therapy intervention
Music therapy is not administered in this group.
Control group (no music therapy).
During the entire hospital stay, newborn babies will receive standard care in use in the neonatal intensive care unit.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
HRV analysis
Time Frame: through test completion, starting from 5 minutes before the test until 5 minutes after test ended
|
The heart rate variability is related to the interaction of the sympathetic nervous system (alarm system) and parasympathetic (vagal).
HRV derives from the balance of Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF).
LF parameter represents the Sympathetic System and is correlated to a state of stress, while HF parameter represents the Parasympathetic System and is correlated to a state of relaxation.
The balance of the two parameters (represented by value 1), means that their relationship is a state of well-being.
|
through test completion, starting from 5 minutes before the test until 5 minutes after test ended
|
Oxygen's saturation
Time Frame: through test completion, starting from 5 minutes before the test until 5 minutes after test ended
|
Monitor oxygen saturation by medical monitor in Neonatal Intensive Care and Neonatology.

through test completion, starting from 5 minutes before the test until 5 minutes after test ended
