Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt
The training in MMB has shown that the music-based methods work all over the country. The methods help to curb unrest and aggression and activate people who sleep unnecessarily during the day. The use of sleeping and sleeping pills can be reduced and the residents' own resources become more activated. This gives more satisfied residents, relatives and employees. There is also a documented reduction in the use of coercion through systematic use of music tools performed by health workers.
