METHOD OF USING SPECIAL MUSICAL PROGRAMS DURING MINERALOTHERAPY COURSES IN CONDITIONS OF SYLVINIT MICROCLIMATIC WARDS

Aim. To estimate the influence of the offered original audio illustration on the functional status of patients with respiratory diseases during their treatment in salt microclimatic wards. Materials and methods. The study object: original musical programs for audio illustration during a ten-day course of sylvinite therapy; 42 middle-aged patients with allergic respiratory diseases. The rate of sensomotor reaction to light and sound, attention, health, activity, mood were assessed. External respiration parameters (respiratory rate, lung capacity, Stange’s tests) were determined thrice in dynamics. Results. Special musical programs positively influence functional status of the basic systems of the body in middle-aged pulmonological patients, enhancing the efficiency of complex therapy. The obtained data permitted to develop and offer musical programs for pre-school children taking into account peculiar features of the development of their nervous system and auditory analyzer. Conclusions. The developed method of using special musical programs while carrying out mineralotherapy in conditions of sylvinite microclimatic wards positively influences functional status of the basic systems of the body in middle-aged pulmonological patients, thus elevating the efficiency of complex therapy. The results of this study indicate prospective value of using special musical illustration in pre-school age groups.
