1. Music and Art
Therapies: Effects
on the
Emotional, Social
and Psychological
Attributes
of the Elderly at
Nursing Home

2. Rationale
The proposal to conduct a study on
the effects of music and art therapies
to elderly in a nursing home is one of
the recommendations in the
ethnographic-phenomenological study
on the journey of the three elderly
women at ANAWIM .

3. Research locale
ANAWIM is a nursing home for
the poor and abandoned elderly
founded by Bo Sanchez.

4. Conceptual Framework
 Psychosocial theory (Erikson)
 disengagement theory
 exchange theory of aging
 activity theory
 Socioemotional Selectivity
Theory

5. Ego integrity means coming to
terms with life, and thereby coming
to terms with the end of life.
VS
Despair means being preoccupied with
past experiences(failures, the bad decisions
they made, and regret that they really don't
have the time or energy to reverse them

6. disengagement theory
‘ego energy’ declines with age and
as the ageing process
develops, individuals become
increasingly self-absorbed and less
responsive to normative controls.

7. Exchange theory
of aging defines that the
aged has less power in
relation to younger people
because they possess
fewer resources

8. activity theory
states that the more
active and involved older
adults are, the more
likely they will be
satisfied with their lives

9. Socioemotional
Selectivity Theory
explains the tendency of
older adults in becoming
more selective of their social
networks
