The problem
Intervention: Music Therapy with Communicative Parental Efficacy (CoPE with Music): eight weekly sessions where a music therapist improvises with the mother-infant dyad, contains the mother's emotions, models musical interactions, and coaches the mother to practice these interactions
Who it was tested with: NICU-discharged mother-infant dyads.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"In eight weekly sessions, the music therapist improvises with the dyad and focuses on (1) containing the mother's emotions; (2) modeling musical interactions with the baby; and (3) practicing these musical interactions with the mother, enabling her to gain communicative parental efficacy." This describes an intervention developed and practiced with families, but evaluation is limited to case study illustration without experimental or pre-post design.
This is a method description article with limited empirical evidence. It includes only a case study demonstration rather than a formal evaluation with measurable outcomes, control comparison, or sample size data. No quantitative impact data is provided.
