description Purpose: Music therapy intervention (MT) could be used as an adjunctive therapy in PICU for anxiety and pain management. The aim of the study was to examine the perception of MT by children’s parents in a PICU of a tertiary care teaching hospital. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study summarizing the results of an institutional quality improvement initiative. Questionnaires were distributed to parents whose children were exposed to MT. Results: From April 2019 to July 2021, 263 patients received a total of 603 h of MT. Twenty-five questionnaires were distributed to parents over a 4-month period (February–June 2021). A total of 19 (76%) parents completed the questionnaire. The majority of parents thought that MT helped their child to communicate (89%), feel less isolated (100%) and cope with stress during hospitalization (100%). The majority of parents also thought that MT contributed to physical recovery (90%) and alleviated feelings of anxiety (90%). Parents also believed that MT should be offered as an out-patient service. Conclusions: Our study agrees with other studies on the positive potentials of MT in PICU. Music therapy intervention could be used to promote children’s and parents’ psychological well-being. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of MT on long-term post-ICU outcomes.
