Purpose This article presents a basic exploration of Bayesian inference to inform researchers unfamiliar to this type of analysis of the many advantages this readily available approach provides. Method First, we demonstrate the development of Bayes' theorem, the cornerstone of Bayesian statistics, into an iterative process of updating priors. Working with a few assumptions, including normalcy and conjugacy of prior distribution, we express how one would calculate the posterior distribution using the prior distribution and the likelihood of the parameter. Next, we move to an example in auditory research by considering the effect of sound therapy for reducing the perceived loudness of tinnitus. In this case, as well as most real-world settings, we turn to Markov chain simulations because the assumptions allowing for easy calculations no longer hold. Using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, we can illustrate several analysis solutions given by a straightforward Bayesian approach. Conclusion Bayesian methods are widely applicable and can help scientists overcome analysis problems, including how to include existing information, run interim analysis, achieve consensus through measurement, and, most importantly, interpret results correctly.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh terapi music terhadap tingkat stress mahasiswa sebelum dan sesudah diberikan terapi musik.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian Quasi Experiment dengan menggunakan rancangan one group pretest-posttest design. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 47 responden. Data dikumpulkan dengan mengisi kuesioner DASS. Pengolahan data dengan uji Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test. Hasil dari penelitian yaitu sebelum dilakukan pemberian terapi music didapatkan 7 mahasiswa atau (16,67%) mengalami stress berat. Setelah diberikan intervensi terapi music diketahui 7 orang mahasiswa (16,67%) mengalami penurunan tingkat stress. Kesimpulannya ada pengaruh pemberian terapi music terhadap tingkat stress pada mahasiswa Program Studi Ilmu Keperawatan Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Insan Cendekia Husada Bojonegoro ( (0,000) dan nilai Z hitung – 6,557 sedangkan Z table 1,96 (Z hitung Z table) berarti Ho ditolak sehingga Ha diterima). Kata Kunci: Terapi Musik, Tingkat Stress. ABSTRACT Stress is a condition where the body is disrupted due to psychological pressure. Stress is associated not due to physical illness is more about the mental. Because of the influence of the stress then physical illness can arise due to the weakness and lack of endurance. The study of mental health, music therapy has shown very effective in relieving anxiety and stress, encourage relaxation and relieve feelings of depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of music therapy on the stress level of students before and after therapy is given musik.Penelitian a Quasi Experiment study using a design one group pretest-posttest design. The sample was 47 respondents. Data were collected by filling out questionnaires DASS. Data processing by Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test. Results of the research that prior to giving music therapy students or obtained 7 (16.67%) experienced severe stress. After being given music In therapy interventions known 7 students (16.67%) decreased level of stress. In conclusion there is the effect of music therapy on the level of stress in students of Nursing Science College of Health Sciences Insan Scholar (0,000) and the Z count - 6.557 while the Z table  Husada Bojonegoro 1.96 (Z count Z table) means Ho is rejected so Ha is received).

The paper presents a qualitative empirical research project, research design and research methods used in the preparation of a dissertation which deals with music therapy interventions in children with autism. The reason for examining this issue is a considerable lack of research activity in this area, and thus also a lack of relevant results on which clinical practice could rely. The results of future investigations should bring answers to the question of how children with autism receive and experience music therapy intervention and also what the effect of music therapy intervention in the social interaction of children is; research will be directed to a deeper understanding of this influence and its characteristics using the multiple case study design.

This scoping review aims to describe occupational therapy interventions carried out with multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients in occupational therapy. A peer review of the literature was conducted in different databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase, and in some occupational therapy journals. A search of the literature published was carried out before December 2019. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) articles evaluating the intervention of occupational therapy in MS or ALS including experimental, randomized, nonrandomized and exploratory studies; (2) written in English or Spanish; (3) adult population (over 18 years old). The initial search identified 836 articles of which we included 32 divided into four areas of intervention: fatigue-targeted interventions, cognitive interventions, physical interventions and others. Only 16 studies were carried out exclusively by occupational therapists. Most occupational therapy interventions are aimed at fatigue and physical rehabilitation. The majority of the studies in our review included MS patients, with little representation from the ALS population. These interventions have shown an improvement in perceived fatigue, manual dexterity, falls prevention and improvement in cognitive aspects such as memory, communication, depression and quality of life in the MS and ALS populations.

Abstract Introduction Facial burns can be complicated by the development of scar tissue and contractures, resulting in decreased flexibility of the tissue involved in swallowing, facial expression, and verbal communication. Maximizing functional range of motion is an important preventative measure for improving functional outcomes for swallowing, communication, and for the prevention of microstomia. A range of therapy interventions including stretching, massage, compression, and use of appliances has been reported in the literature; however, there is limited to no information on current practice patterns amongst North American providers (MD, DO, PA, NP, etc.) or therapists (PT, OT, and SLP). Methods A RedCap survey was developed by a Speech-Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist involved in burn care. The survey consisted of 18 total questions, with participants responding to between 12–13 questions due to branching logic. Questions were related to demographic and service provision related to facial massage and stretching. Survey questions were multiple choice, multiple answer multiple choice, or contained text boxes. The survey was distributed to Providers and Therapists from the United Stated of America and Canada who were members of the American Burn Association (ABA). Results A total of 69 surveys were collected, with 57 surveys meeting criteria for inclusion. Respondents consisted of therapists 68%, providers 23%, and other health professionals 9%. Forty-six ABA burn centers from across the United States and Canada were represented. The majority of respondents had over 10 years of experience working with burn patients. 91% of respondents reported that facial massage and stretching was used as a tool at their facility. Respondents, who report facial massage is utilized at their facility, report OT as being the primary discipline responsible for assessing (67%) and completing (65%) facial massage, with 85% reporting additional discipline(s) also participating in facial massage. 9% of respondents report that facial massage and stretching is not utilized at their facility following facial burns. Of those who responded that facial massage and stretching is not utilized following facial burns, 40% felt this would be beneficial to patients, while 60% were unsure. Conclusions Facial scar management is an important part of burn care, with the majority of respondents reporting completion of facial massage and stretching as part of the services provided to patients who have suffered facial burns. OTs are the primary service providers for facial massage and stretching post facial burn. Practices for facial massage varies greatly, with the majority of respondents reporting no specific protocol for facial massage and stretching is followed.
