A survey of the use of music by hospice chaplains: a call for collaboration.
Music is an integral tool in creating sacred space, and research indicates the potential for music to advance spiritual goals. However, little evidence exists on the use of music by hospice chaplains. In an online survey, 313 hospice chaplains were asked about their work including their use of music and perception of the effectiveness of music in meeting spiritual goals. Most respondents named supporting those actively dying and providing compassionate presence as a top reason for referral. Many used prayer and life review to meet spiritual goals. Participants reported playing recorded religious music (66.54%) or singing religious music (61.54%) with their patients and only 8.08% never use music. Collaboration with board-certified music therapists to use music to support actively dying patients and prompt life review is encouraged. Seminary and CPE educators are urged to incorporate the use of music into their curricula.
