a process evaluation of a psychomotor Dance Therapy intervention dancin for behavior change in dementia attitudes and beliefs of participating residents and staff
International Psychogeriatrics, 2017Co-Authors: Azucena Guzman, Lynn Rochester, Ian A James, Lisa Robinson, Julian C HughesAbstract:Background: In a previous paper, we presented results from a 12-week study of a Psychomotor Dance Therapy INtervention (DANCIN) based on Danzon Latin Ballroom that involves motor, emotional-affective, and cognitive domains, using a multiple-baseline single-case design in three care homes. This paper reports the results of a complementary process evaluation to elicit the attitudes and beliefs of home care staff, participating residents, and family members with the aim of refining the content of DANCIN in dementia care. Methods: An external researcher collected bespoke questionnaires from ten participating residents, 32 care home staff, and three participants’ family members who provided impromptu feedback in one of the care homes. The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy v1 (BCTTv1) provided a methodological tool for identifying active components of the DANCIN approach warranting further exploration, development, and implementation. Results: Ten residents found DANCIN beneficial in terms of mood and socialization in the care home. Overall, 78% of the staff thought DANCIN led to improvements in residents’ mood; 75% agreed that there were improvements in behavior; 56% reported increased job satisfaction; 78% of staff were enthusiastic about receiving further training. Based on participants’ responses, four BCTTv1 labels–Social support (emotional), Focus on past success and verbal persuasion to boost self-efficacy, Restructuring the social environment and Habit formation–were identified to describe the intervention. Residents and staff recommended including additional musical genres and extending the session length. Discussions of implementing a supervision system to sustain DANCIN regularly regardless of management or staff turnover were suggested. Conclusions: Care home residents with mild to moderate dementia wanted to continue DANCIN as part of their routine care and staff and family members were largely supportive of this approach. This study argues in favor of further dissemination of DANCIN in care homes. We provide recommendations for the future development of DANCIN based on the views of key stakeholder groups.

psychomotor Dance Therapy intervention dancin for people with dementia in care homes a multiple baseline single case study
International Psychogeriatrics, 2016Co-Authors: Azucena Guzman, Julian C Hughes, Lynn Rochester, Mark H Freeston, Ian A JamesAbstract:Background A Psychomotor Dance Therapy INtervention (DANCIN) using Latin Ballroom (Danzon) in care homes has previously been shown to enhance well-being for both residents with dementia and staff. The aim of this study was to understand the effect of this approach on the mood and behavior of individual people living with mild to moderate dementia. Method A multiple-baseline single-case study across two care homes and one nursing home with 3-6 weeks baseline, 12-weeks DANCIN (30 minutes/twice-weekly sessions), and 12-weeks follow-up was conducted. Seventeen items from the Dementia Mood Assessment Scale (DMAS) outcome measure were adapted with input from senior staff to match participants' behavior and mood symptoms. Daily monitoring diaries were collected from trained staff on reporting individualized items for ten residents. Data were analyzed, using a non-parametric statistical method known as Percentage of All Non-Overlapping Data (PAND) which provides Phi effect size (ES). Medication use, falls, and life events were registered. Results Seven residents participated throughout DANCIN whilst three became observers owing to health deterioration. One participant showed adverse effects in three DMAS items. Nine participants, Dancers and observers, showed a small to medium magnitude of change (PAND) in 21 DMAS items, indicating a decrease in the frequency of behavior and mood indices which were regarded as problematic; eight items showed no change. Conclusion Despite methodological challenges, the DANCIN model has the potential to facilitate and sustain behavior change and improve mood (e.g. decrease irritability, increase self-esteem) of the residents living with dementia. The study was conducted in two care homes and one nursing home, strengthening the interventions' validity. Findings suggest DANCIN is appropriate for a larger controlled feasibility study.

dancing as a psychosocial intervention in care homes a systematic review of the literature
International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2013Co-Authors: Azucena Guzmangarcia, Julian C Hughes, Ian James, Lynn RochesterAbstract:Background There is a need to find meaningful and engaging interventions to improve mood and behaviour for residents of care homes. The demand on care staff might diminish opportunities for them to encourage these activities. Staff anecdotal information attests that dancing as an activity improves mood in residents and staff. Hence, the importance of investigating what dancing brings to the care home social environment. Aims To provide a systematic review of the evidence from studies related to dancing interventions for older people with dementia living in care homes. Method Electronic databases were searched. Previous reviews were also included, and recognised experts were consulted up to January 2012. Inclusion criteria considered study methodology and evidence that the impact of the Dance intervention had been measured. Results Ten studies were identified that satisfied the inclusion criteria: seven qualitative and three quantitative. Studies used different approaches such as therapeutic Dance, Dance movement Therapy, Dance Therapy, social dancing and psychomotor Dance-based exercise. There was evidence that problematic behaviours decreased; social interaction and enjoyment in both residents and care staff improved. A few adverse effects were also acknowledged. Conclusion The evidence on the efficacy of dancing in care homes is limited in part owing to the methodological challenges facing such research. This review aims to raise awareness of the possibility of implementing Dance work as an engaging activity in care homes. We shall also consider options for future Dance work research as a means to encourage relationships and sensory stimulation for both residents and staff. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The phenomenon of Tarantism and the traditional musical and dancing style of Pizzica in the south-italian region of Puglia
2010Co-Authors: Kobyláková IrenaAbstract:The diploma work called The Phenomenon of Tarantism and the Traditional Musical and Dancing style of Pizzica in the South-Italian Region of Puglia by BcA. Irena N. Kobyláková analyses two basic cultural topics typical for the South-Italian region of Puglia from ethnological point of view, tarantism and pizzica, which complement each other. In the first part the author treats the process of tarantism, i.e. of a psychosomatic disease which was healed by musical and Dance Therapy in a frenetic rhythm of pizzica created by drumming on a tambourine. The work analyses the causes of the disease, which are symbolically substituted by a poisonous spider, reveals the process and the Therapy of the disease, the relationship of an afflicted person to the mythical spider, as well as to Saint Paul, the patron of the poisoned. The second half of the work involves a musical and Dance analysis of tarantella of Salento called pizzica, namely its three kinds, the pizzica tarantata, the passionate pizzica and the gesticulated pizzica. This part is complemented by a report about the contemporary happenning, popularity and use of pizzica in Puglia. A report of own field research in the region, which took place during years 2003 - 2009 is part of the thesis as well. The purpose of the diploma work was to bring forth an issue..

The phenomenon of Tarantism and the traditional musical and dancing style of Pizzica in the south-italian region of Puglia
Univerzita Karlova Filozofická fakulta, 2010Co-Authors: Kobyláková IrenaAbstract:Diplomová práce s názvem Fenomén tarantismu a tradiční hudební a taneční styl pizzica v jihoitalském kraji Apulie autorky BcA. Ireny N. Kobylákové rozebírá z etnologického hlediska dvě základní kulturní témata příznačná pro jihoitalský region Apulie, tedy fenomény tarantismu a pizziky, jež byly navzájem propojeny. V první části se autorka zabývá procesem tarantismu, tedy psychosomatické choroby léčené hudební a taneční terapií ve frenetickém rytmu pizziky, ztvárněném především bubnováním na tamburínu. Práce analyzuje příčiny choroby, které jsou symbolicky zastoupeny jedovatým pavoukem, dále průběh choroby a terapie, vztah postiženého k mytickému pavoukovi a k svatému Pavlovi jako patronu otrávených. Je pojednáno také o historii odborných zpráv o tarantismu. Druhou část diplomové práce zahrnuje hudební a taneční analýzu salentinské tarantely, resp. pizziky, konkrétně jejích tří druhů, tedy tarantované pizziky, svádivé pizziky a šermované pizziky. Tuto část doplňuje zpráva o současném dění, oblibě a užití této hudby a tanců v Apulii. Součástí diplomové práce je také zpráva z terénního výzkumu v daném regionu v období let 2003 až 2009. Cílem práce bylo přinést do oblasti české etnologie dosud velmi málo zpracované téma, jež je zároveň předmětem etnologie současnosti.The diploma work called The Phenomenon of Tarantism and the Traditional Musical and Dancing style of Pizzica in the South-Italian Region of Puglia by BcA.
