Context: Music-based interventions are an effective non-pharmacological approach reducing behavioral and psychological symptoms among older adults with major neurocognitive disorder (MNCD) living in long-term care settings (Mileski et al., 2019). However, the implementation of these interventions in real-world contexts remains challenged by multiple obstacles (Amano et al., 2021). As part of our ongoing study on the effects of a personalized music intervention in an innovative senior housing facility in Quebec City, we identified some adoption and implementation challenges. This project was conducted within a Living Lab embedded in the senior housing facility, which provided a collaborative research environment fostering active participation of researchers, healthcare workers and residents (Kim et al., 2020). This immersive place-based learning environment also facilitates knowledge transfer, which can lead to greater adherence to implemented solutions. Objective: This study aimed to document preliminary recommendations formulated by healthcare workers following the introduction of a personalized music intervention for residents with MNCD in senior housing in Quebec City. Method: Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with healthcare workers (n = 8) who regularly interacted with residents receiving a personalized music intervention. Open-ended questions explored the technical, practical, and organizational aspects of music delivery. Data were analyzed inductively using thematic analysis in N’Vivo by two independent coders (Creswell & Creswell, 2018). Consensus on codes and themes was achieved through discussion, and strategies such as reflective journaling were employed to enhance reliability. Results: Two main themes emerged from the interviews: (1) material characteristics and conditions of use, and (2) organizational support and practical requirements. The first theme underscored the need for simple, ergonomic, flexible and accessible equipment that is safe and comfortable for residents, as well as practical considerations such as battery management and clear instructions. The second theme emphasized the importance of technical support, effective communication, addressing staffing constraints, allocating sufficient time, supervising residents when required, and involving multiple staff members to ensure effective music delivery. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of adapting personalized music interventions to the realities of healthcare workers and their organizational context, while also educating future professionals on how to adjust their interventions to the needs of innovative care settings in Quebec, such as senior housing. Although exploratory, these results provide a relevant foundation for understanding the barriers and facilitators to implementation and for identifying practical solutions to optimize music delivery.
