The purpose of the current systematic review was to examine the effects of music interventions on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A systematic search of CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases was performed. Studies examining the effects of music interventions on cognitive function in older adults with MCI were included. Narrative synthesis for cognitive outcomes postintervention was performed. A total of 11 articles met inclusion criteria. Music interventions significantly improved global cognitive function, verbal fluency, executive function, and spatial function in older adults with MCI. Included studies were heterogeneous in terms of the type of intervention, cognitive assessment tool, and intervention duration. Six studies were at risk of bias due to missing data and confounding factors. Our findings suggest that music interventions can be an effective strategy to improve cognitive function for older adults with MCI. However, findings should be interpreted with caution. More rigorous studies with various types of music interventions investigating cognitive domain-specific effects are needed. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 16(5), 259-268.].

音乐干预对轻度认知障碍老年人认知功能的影响：系统评价。

当前系统评价的目的是检查音乐干预对患有轻度认知障碍（MCI）的老年人认知功能的影响。对 CINAHL、PubMed、PsycINFO 和 Web of Science 数据库进行了系统检索。其中包括检查音乐干预对患有 MCI 的老年人认知功能影响的研究。对干预后的认知结果进行叙事综合。共有11篇文章符合纳入标准。音乐干预显着改善了患有 MCI 的老年人的整体认知功能、语言流畅性、执行功能和空间功能。纳入的研究在干预类型、认知评估工具和干预持续时间方面存在异质性。由于数据缺失和混杂因素，六项研究存在偏倚风险。我们的研究结果表明，音乐干预可以成为改善患有 MCI 的老年人认知功能的有效策略。然而，应谨慎解释研究结果。需要对各种类型的音乐干预进行更严格的研究，调查特定认知领域的影响。[老年护理研究，16(5), 259-268.]。
