Abstract
Roy's Adaptation Model is used in a case study approach to begin examining the potential of music intervention in hospitalized, restrained patients. Restraints were removed during the time in which the patient listened to a musical tape through a headset. Mr. D, presented in this case study, was one of the 30 medical-surgical patients who participated. His observable positive behaviors increased from 10 during the preintervention period to 12 during the musical intervention. Mr. D displayed no negative behaviors during the entire study period.
