2014Filhan(2010) arvion mukaan hengityssairaudet koskettavat vuosittain miljoonaa suomalaista. Tutkimus tarjoaa vaihtoehdon potilaan omaa vastuuta korostavaan kuntoutukseen.
Astmaryhmälle, kaksi lasta ja aikuinen, sekä keuhkoahtaumapotilaalle annettiin 12 viikkoa puhallinsoittimiin painottuvaa musiikkiterapiaa. Hengitysharjoituksia ja puhallinsoittimien soittoa käytettiin hengityselinten vahvistamiseksi musiikin tuodessa harjoitteluun motivaatiota.
Voiko puhallinsoittimia painottava musiikkiterapia normaalihoitoon lisättynä vaikuttaa myönteisesti hengityssairauksista kärsivän elämänlaatuun?
Kahdentoista viikon tuloksissa kvalitatiivinen materiaali antoi tuloksia. PEF lukemat pysyivät samoina, mutta päiväkirjoissa asiakkaat kertoivat parantuneista erilaisten hengitystyylien oppimisesta ja näiden käytöstä astmakohtauksissa, liman irtoamisesta keuhkojen alaosista, jatkuvan yskän paranemisesta sekä tavallisesta flunssasta selviämisen helpottumisesta. Finnish Lung Health Association (Filha ry) estimated 2010 that respiratory diseases concern a million Finnish, every fifth of us, every day. Rehabilitation underlines self-care and co-ownership. This Master’s Thesis introduces one option to rehabilitation.
Asthma group, two children and one adult, had music therapy sessions with woodwind instrument playing, and COPD patient individual music therapy sessions for 12 weeks. Breathing exercises and playing a wind instrument was used to strengthen respiration and musical aspect for motivating practicing.
Can musical wind instrument in music therapy context, added to standard care, provide a beneficial effect for pulmonary patients? Is there positive impact in quality of life?
In twelve weeks time results was found in qualitative material. PEF measures remained the same, but in diaries patients tell improved skills in asthma attack, mucus severing from lower part of the lungs, relieve from continuing coughing and improved capability to cure from common cold.
