This poster will describe a collaboration between nursing facility staff and university researchers to establish individualized music interventions to improve targeted behavioral outcomes for nursing home residents with dementia. We used single-case design to assess intervention effectiveness for each resident. We will present data from 4–5 patients to illustrate how this type of design can be used to inform intervention targeting. We used independent sample t-tests to compare mean percentages of observed affect and behaviors from the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Affect Rating Scale and a modified Passivity in Dementia Scale before and during the music intervention and with a control period of attention only. Preliminary analyses show that for one resident, the music intervention did not produce significant differences in affect or behavior, but for a second resident positive affect (t(21) = -3.784, p =.001) was significantly higher during the intervention, and negative affect (t(19.674) = 2.595, p =.017) and negative behaviors (t(15.453) = 3.242, p =.005) were significantly lower during the intervention. We illustrate how reports from these simple analyses can be used to inform nursing home staff about how to use individualized music with residents who will most benefit from the intervention.
