Elderly confusion and agitation are crucial nursing problems. Limitations and concerns related to the current management of these behaviors suggest the need to investigate alternative nursing interventions. One such intervention is music. The purpose of this study was to test Gerdner's mid-range theory of individualized music intervention for agitation. An experimental repeated measures pretest-posttest cross over design was used to compare the immediate and 30 minute residual effects of individualized music to classical "relaxation" music relative to baseline on the frequency of agitated behaviors in elderly persons with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD). Thirty-nine subjects were recruited from six long term care facilities in Iowa. The sample was comprised of 30 females and 9 males (mean age of 82 years) with severe cognitive impairment. Each subject was studied over an 18 week period. Baseline data were collected during the initial three weeks. The selection of individualized music was based on findings from the Modified Hartsock Music Preference Questionnaire (Family Version). Group A received individualized music for six weeks followed by a two-week "washout" period and six weeks of classical "relaxation" music. Group B received the same protocol but in reverse order. Music interventions were presented "free field" for 30 minutes, two times per week. The time of intervention was individualized based on application of the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold Model. The dependent variable was measured using the Modified Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory. A repeated measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc analysis revealed a significant decrease in the frequency of agitated behaviors during the 30 minute presentation of individualized music compared to the 30 minute presentation of classical "relaxation" music relative to baseline. In addition, there was a significant decrease in the frequency of agitation during the 30 minutes immediately following the presentation of individualized music compared to the 30 minutes immediately following classical "relaxation" music relative to baseline. Aspects of Gerdner's mid-range theory of IMAI were supported by the findings of this study. Implications of these findings for nursing practice, education, and research are discussed.
