Abstract

This work integrates the field of Occupational Therapy whose object of study is the use of music in therapeutic interventions. Resources, activities, occupations, are instrumental and mastery of the practice of occupational therapists. Music, in different settings and with different subjects, can be used in Occupational Therapy in the context of intervention. Literature reveals the power of this resource and the benefits it can bring, from the development of new skills and capabilities such as form of expression, sociability and social inclusion. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify and analyze the works produced in Brazilian Occupational Therapy journals that revealed the use of music in the interventions. A systematic review, using the music descriptor, was carried out in three Brazilian Occupational Therapy journals. Three articles were identified that corresponded to the criterion of inclusion of the research: to approach music in the context of intervention in Occupational Therapy. The research evidenced five thematic categories: Music as a resource, Different ways of using music, Music as a medium, Music as an end, Music as an activity of inclusion. It is emphasized that the use of music was given only by the occupational therapist or along with other professionals; was characterized as resource, activity, occupation in different scenarios and with different subjects and therapeutic objectives. It is considered that the scientific production still shows in a small number, and it is worth noting that the articles pay little attention to the presentation and description of the potential of the methods and strategies to obtain the results.
