【L33】
Professor: Hello everyone. Before we continue with our lectures on the history of music and art, we’ll be listening to John’s presentation on how music and art are being used to help with the healing process in the 21st century. John, are you ready to begin?
John: Yes, I think so... Thanks, professor. Right. Good morning all. As professor just stated, I’ve been doing some research into the healing powers of art and music, and I’d like to present my findings to you today. I intend to demonstrate
the positive effects of music and art on patients’ emotional, social as well as physical well-being.
Let’s begin by going back in time to the most famous of nurses, Florence Nightingale.
Way back in 1860,
Florence Nightingale wrote in her Notes on Nursing that brightly coloured flowers and art helped her patients to recover more quickly. Although her comments were viewed with scepticism at the time, she was — we believe — the first of many health professionals to state this. Over the following years, there were many other studies that tried to prove that a link between art, music and health exists,
but very few of them were strictly controlled,
so the results were variable, and therefore unreliable. However, one American study was different. In the 1980s, some research took place into the effects of architecture
on the recovery time of forty-six patients
who were in hospital for a gall bladder operation. Half of the patients were kept in hospital wards with windows overlooking some trees. The other half were left in rooms that faced onto a brick wall.
It was found that the ones with a nice view left hospital a day earlier and needed fewer painkillers.
This study was ground-breaking as it was the first that used controlled conditions that could be measured statistically and without bias.
Now I’d like to bring you up-to-date and take a closer comparative look at three research projects on three very different types of patients. The first monitored the health of unborn babies. In the study, which took place at a hospital in London,
babies were played live music and their heart rates were monitored.
A healthy baby’s heart would beat around 110 to 160 times a minute, but researchers found that their heart rate increased by up to 15 beats a minute on average without the mother’s pulse changing. This is a good sign that the baby is healthy. In addition, the mothers that took part in the survey also said they felt more relaxed.
Another study looked at cancer patients who were visiting as day patients to receive their chemotherapy treatments.
They were treated in a room that had artistic pictures hanging on the wall.
The pictures were changed each week so that the patients would not have to look at the same ones week after week. When questioned afterwards,
patients said that they felt less pain
because the images helped take their mind off the treatment they were receiving. They also noted general improvement in their well-being.
Finally, the last study analysed the treatment of a group of elderly patients who were in hospital to have a hip replacement operation, and so they needed to stay for around ten to fourteen days.
The researchers played them 30 minute tracks of soothing classical music,
but not every day, and then monitored their progress using a questionnaire. When asked to rate how they felt both with and without music, the patients consistently stated that they felt less anxious on the days when they had the music playing. There was a second unexpected, but completely understandable result from the research.
The staff liked the music so much that they said they too felt happier
and that they would be less likely to leave the hospital for a job elsewhere if it were to continue. Now that has to be a good thing, which will also have a positive effect on the quality of the treatment patients receive.
选项
答案
strictly controlled
解析
该题考查的是,过去许多研究不能证明健康和艺术之间的关联的原因。录音提到因为很少有研究能够做到严格控制变量(strictly controlled)。其中录音中的unreliable“不可靠的”和few“很少,几乎没有”分别与题目中的did not prove和rarely相对应。
