Converging Disciplines in Music Therapy & Antepartum Care

Monday, February 4, 2013 8:15am to 5:00pm

COURSE DESCRIPTION Current medical practice in the treatment of the physiological and psychological symptoms and emotional needs of the patient experiencing a high-risk pregnancy will be enhanced through a greater understanding of music therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention. Music therapy, when administered by an informed, skilled, and credentialed music therapist, contributes to treatment options and outcomes: it provides incentive for medical and psychosocial teams to incorporate current standards of music therapy practice into treatment planning. This symposium involving music therapy and allied disciplines provides an integrative approach to the treatment of the antepartum population. It will elucidate the theory, practice, and research with this high-risk population across various domains including medical, psychiatric and psychosocial practice. OBJECTIVES After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to: Incorporate music therapy, as administered by a credentialed music therapist , into the treatment of the physiologic and psychologic effects of a high-risk pregnancy. Integrate current medical research and music therapy research into the development of a best-practice plan of care.

Converging Disciplines in Music Therapy & Antepartum Care

Monday, February 4, 2013
8:15-9am Registration & Breakfast 9am-9:05 Welcome: Joanne V. Loewy DA, LCAT, MT-BC Conference Chair: Angela Ferraiuolo MA, MT-BC 9:05-10:30 Keynote Presentation Childbirth and Music Therapy Support for the Family Susanne Hanser EdD, MT-BC This session will present the results of a research study testing the impact of a music listening strategy on pain-related behaviors during labor and delivery. The intervention involved conditioning a relaxation response to music selected by pregnant women for use during labor. The music therapist met with all subjects and taught them techniques that integrated prepared childbirth breathing techniques and music that evoked pleasant memories, associations, and images. Rhythmic elements of the music were emphasized to maintain control of breath and focus of attention. The research results demonstrated that music was effective in reducing painrelated behaviors. 10:30-11:15 Criteria for Referrals for Music Therapy Support of Infants Hospitalized in the NICU Ann Marie Dassler NP A team approach in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit promotes individualized care. Thus, referrals for each new admission are inclusive of music therapy services and are based upon the medical needs of the infant, and the individual psychosocial aspects of their family. The criteria for music therapy referrals, goal areas and ways in which music can support hospitalized infants and their families will be discussed. 11:15-12:30 Continuity of Care: from Antepartum to NICU Angela Ferraiuolo MA, MT-BC Mothers who are hospitalized for a pregnancy deemed high risk often suffer from stress, anxiety and feelings of loss of control. Fear and the unknown are common themes on the antepartum unit. Music therapy can provide support and facilitate coping through a variety of interventions for the family, while the mother is hospitalized. There is an increased chance of pre-term birth for high risk mothers. The music therapy relationship is initially established on the antepartum unit and then transitions with the family to support their journey as their infant is hospitalized in the NICU. Music therapy interventions shift from antepartum to postpartum and the focus becomes facilitating bonding, healing and processing trauma as well as celebrating development.

1:30-2:15 The Rhythm of High Risk Pregnancy Janet Stein MD Pregnancies can be high risk for a variety of reasons. Some women have pre-existing medical problems that can be affected by a pregnancy. Other healthy women carry a fetus that has problems such as abnormal development or growth. Sometimes a healthy woman carrying a healthy fetus develops preterm labor with a risk of delivering too early. This talk will review some of the conditions that put a pregnancy at risk for adverse outcomes, with a focus on those situations that lead to prematurity, including some at the very boundaries of survival. Some of the most current modalities for testing and evaluation will be reviewed. How the doctor-patient relationship impacts the ability to endure the uncertainties, choices and stress will be explored by using case examples. 2:15-3:00 Bonding in a Complicated Pregnancy Ruth Gabay LCSW Elham Shoa LCSW High risk factors, both medically and psychosocially, impact the pregnant patient and her family. The process of bonding and attachment while pregnant is disrupted when a pregnancy is challenged with complications. How does one help a family cope and negotiate the process of receiving a difficult diagnosis, comprehending its medical ramifications and its emotional and concrete effects on their baby and family? We will discuss how a provider can empower families and help them to bond with their baby in light of the fear, anxiety and apprehension that many face during this time. An overview of high risk case studies that reflect complications with patient or baby will be provided. Issues will span disability, anomalies, mental illness, drug addiction and adverse psychosocial conditions that affect and exacerbate a challenging pregnancy. 3:00-3:45 Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: Diagnosis and Management Aimee Telsey MD Infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) experience a constellation of dysregulating behaviors. A team-centered approach involving integrative therapies is ideal in addressing the unique medical and psychosocial needs of infants diagnosed with NAS. This approach to care from diagnosis and medical management to discharge will be discussed. 3:45-4:30 Music Therapy and the Importance of Healthy Attachment and Bonding During High Risk Pregnancy in Antepartum Care John Mondanaro MA, MT-BC, LCAT, CCLS Joanne V. Loewy DA, MT-BC, LCAT The fragility of the neonate in utero can elicit unwanted and at times harmful stress levels in mothers hospitalized for antepartum care. Heightened stress and anxiety levels affecting the release of hormones can impact the neonates growth in ways contraindicative of the rationale for hospitalization in the first place.

Music therapy focusing simultaneously on the developmental needs of the neonate and the psychosocial needs of the mother, father, and other significant caregivers, fosters a sense of meaning and relationship in an environment where uncertainty, detachment and ambivalence often prevail. Should prognosis shift toward the neonates imminent death, such intervention early on will have solidified a relationship that can be grieved anticipatorily in a bereavement process that is healthy. 4:30-5:00 Discussion
