Abstract

The objective of the present study is to describe the environment impact over the volition expression of elderly people with low to moderate dementia, who participate on a music workshop in a Nursing Home. A qualitative-descriptive type investigation was done, developed by the observation of the workshop for one month (four sessions), using the “Volitional Questionnaire” evaluation instrument on four of all the participants that participate in the workshop. The main results involved the impact of the environment over the expression of the volition of the group, according to the task or occupational forms observed on each session, where the participants reached a spontaneous volition expression when they are singing or playing instruments related to their interests, like jewish or classic songs. Furthermore, the research shows that the social environment, related to the occupational forms, also generates an impact on the volition expression, which is observed as other types of difficulty for that expression, with also the difficulty for the group on the participation on the workshop.
