The purpose of this project is to further develop a standardized music-based measure used in music therapy with adults who have emerged from coma following profound brain injury, but are not able to demonstrate responsiveness to their environment due to complex clinical needs. Building on previous work, the project aims to strengthen the psychometric properties (e.g. concurrent validity, responsiveness) of the measure for its use with adults with profound brain damage.
Adult patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOC), but who have not been diagnosed as Minimally Conscious or Vegetative State, will be recruited. All participants will be assessed using the Music Therapy Assessment Tool for Awareness in Disorders of Consciousness (MATADOC) standardized protocol. Assessment intervention will take place in four individual clinical contacts, over a 16 day period. Data will be collected using the MATADOC rating form and scored according to the MATADOC manual. Participants will concurrently be assessed with Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R).
The MATADOC is implemented by Music Therapists who have been trained in its use and who are experienced in working with adults with PDOC. CRS-R data will be collected by members of the treatment team who are experienced or trained in its use. MATADOC and CRS-R assessors will remain blinded to the data collected.
Analysis will compare diagnostic outcomes of the two measures as well as explore the function of comparable items of each measure across similar domains (e.g. auditory, visual).
