Abstract
Abstract

Background: To further personalise and refine playlist collection methodologies for people with dementia, current utilised methodologies must be reviewed and critically analysed. However, there is limited transparency of some of these approaches. To remedy this current gap in literature more focussed research into the methodologies used in creating these music playlists is needed (Garrido et al., 2017). This protocol is for a systematic review that aims to identify the methodologies currently utilised in the development of music playlists for people with dementia and will also explore and analyse the effectiveness of these methods on dementia related outcomes.

Methods: This protocol has been written in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocol (PRISMA) guidelines. Systematic searches will be used to identify the efficacy of methodologies used to collect chosen playlists for people living with dementia. These searches will be conducted across PubMed, PsychInfo, SCOPUS, and Music Periodicals database. Titles, abstracts and keywords will be screened with Rayyan.ai software and risk of bias will be assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT).

Results: Studies will be reported as descriptive data and summarised narratively. Data and information on specific methodologies will be grouped together. Depending on the variability of methods, this might occur through grouping methodologies into broader themes (e.g., informant-based questionnaire playlists). Identifying and critically analysing the efficacy and acceptability of playlist collection methodologies will further understanding and future refine of further tailored and user-friendly playlist collection methods for people with dementia.

Discussion: Findings from the systematic review will help aid the refine and development of new methodologies for playlist collection in people with dementia, so that it is not only effective in improving outcomes and objectives but also acceptable and feasible.

Keywords: Dementia, music, chosen playlists, individual music listening.
