- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selected receptive music in decreasing the wandering behavior of an African-American male diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. A single system design was used for the study. Baseline phase consisted of the use of an observation data log recording the amount of time, in seconds, per 15 minute intervals. The observation of the subject's wandering was recorded over a 4-day period. Intervention phase consisted of 3, 15 minute music sessions. The music intervention was conducted from 1:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day. A t-test comparing the baseline phase and intervention phase during this time frame revealed a statistically significant difference regarding the amount of time the subject wandered. Findings indicate that during this time period, the subject wandered less in intervention phase with music intervention than in baseline phase with no intervention.
