Music Therapy and trauma in the NICU: Family centered multimodal intervention.

Abstract

The following intervention proposal in Music Therapy is aimed at parents or caregivers of babies admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Its objective is to offer them a framework of containment in the face of the traumatic event experienced, favor their psychological well-being and consequently strengthen the bond with the newborn. This multimodal intervention is a complementary support to the RBL method used at the NICU, includes also a group intervention with the GIM method and the creation of a new environmental music model called Birthing Harp. It is an easy-to- implement intervention and a valuable contribution to the humanization of the hospital system.
