Resumen

El propósito de este estudio era: (a) Evaluar y comparar el impacto de tres programas de música (coro, apreciación musical y sesiones preventivas de musicoterapia) en la calidad de vida de adultos mayores sanos. b) identificar la motivación y las dificultades que encuentran los mayores al participar en actividades de este tipo con el fin de elaborar recomendaciones y estrategias para el diseño de programas adecuados para los adultos mayores. En este proyecto se utilizó un diseño cuasi experimental pre/post-test sin grupo de control equivalente. La muestra incluyó a 83 personas mayores de 65 años. El muestreo fue intencional. La recogida de datos se llevó a cabo mediante un cuestionario ad hoc que incluía los cuatro aspectos del constructo de calidad de vida (salud física, salud subjetiva, bienestar psicológico y relaciones interpersonales), un cuestionario sobre motivación y otro sobre satisfacción con el programa. Este último cuestionario se administró dos veces: al inicio de los programas (pre-test) y al final (post-test). Los resultados de este estudio indican que los participantes percibieron mejoras en algunos aspectos de su calidad de vida. Además, las principales razones que motivan la participación en estas actividades musicales son ampliar su red social y adquirir nuevos conocimientos. Los resultados se discuten a la luz de los retos del envejecimiento activo y satisfactorio.
