Digital music and movement intervention to improve health and wellbeing in older adults in care homes: a pilot mixed methods study
BMC Geriatrics volume 24, Article number: 733 (2024)
"The primary aim of this pilot mixed method study was twofold: 1) to evaluate the efficacy of a digital movement and music intervention within care home settings and its subsequent impact on a range of health and wellbeing outcomes; and 2) to decide whether and how to proceed with a future definitive randomised controlled trial.
Participants expressed enjoyment and appreciation for the opportunity the intervention provided to come together, fostering a sense of community and shared experiences.. However, the implementation of the intervention faced challenges, including time constraints due to care home routines, understaffing, and technical issues such as unreliable Wi-Fi connections."
