Abstract
Introduction. Live music interventions can help enhance psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This research project stems from a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort between two undergraduate programs: Nursing and Musical Performance. Objectives. To analyze the effectiveness of a live music intervention on the well-being of oncology patients. Methodology. A mixed-methods study design is proposed. A quasi-experimental study without randomization will evaluate the effect of the intervention with a control group (N=33) and an experimental group (N=33) during chemotherapy treatment administration in a day hospital. Sociodemographic and clinical variables (anxiety levels, affectivity, and vital signs) will be collected. The levels of anxiety and changes in vital signs in the performers (music students) will be analyzed before and after rehearsals and the intervention. A phenomenological-hermeneutic qualitative study is designed to understand the experiences of the patients and performers after the musical intervention. Practical Applicability. This project emphasizes the importance of collaboration between students from two complementary disciplines in real healthcare settings, starting from their formative stages.
