Corrigendum: Music Therapy in the Psychosocial Treatment of Adult Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Frontiers in Psychology, (2020), 11, (651), 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.00651)

Abstract

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The “Setting and patients” description of the study by Rossetti et al. (2017) should read “Outpatient medical center, patients with breast or head and neck cancer, N = 78” instead of “Inpatient medical center, patients with breast, head or neck cancer, N = 78”. The “Intervention” description of the study by Rossetti et al. (2017) should read “Music therapy (multiple techniques); 1 session, 60 min” instead of “Music listening; 1 session, 60min.” The corrected Table 2 appears below. In the original article, there was a subsequent error in the description of the intervention in the study by Rossetti et al. (2017). A correction has been made to “Results,” “Study Description and Narrative Synthesis,” “Music Therapy During Chemotherapy and Radiation”, Paragraph 2: “Two studies assessed the effects of music therapy in the course of radiation therapy and found reductions in anxiety and distress (Rossetti et al., 2017) as well as improvements regarding quality of life, fatigue, and depression (Alcântara-Silva et al., 2018). Techniques used in these studies encompassed listening to prerecorded music, live music therapy, and conversations with a therapist.” The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated. (Table presented.).
