Abstract:
“Music prenatal education” (or music-based fetal education) refers to a form of prenatal stimulation in which music is played or performed during pregnancy to promote the physical and psychological development of the fetus and to help regulate the expectant mother’s emotions. As one of the most widely studied and emphasized forms of prenatal education, music prenatal education not only facilitates the physiological development of the fetal nervous system but also helps mothers cultivate positive emotions and strengthen mother–infant bonding. Existing research has explored the effects of music prenatal education from both physiological and psychological perspectives, analyzing its positive influence on fetal development and maternal emotional well-being. Furthermore, it has examined the current state and limitations of this field. Future studies should focus on identifying the optimal timing for implementing music prenatal education, improving its overall quality, and enhancing the scientific basis for selecting appropriate types of music, so as to promote better maternal and infant health outcomes through evidence-based musical interventions.
“音乐胎教”是指在孕期通过播放或演奏音乐,促进胎儿身心发育、调节孕妇情绪的一种胎教方式。作为研究领域最为关注的胎教方式之一,音乐胎教不仅能够促进胎儿神经系统的生理发育,还能够帮助孕妇建立积极情绪,增强母婴互动。本研究从生理机制、心理效应维度,深入剖析音乐胎教对孕妇与胎儿的影响,分析了音乐胎教对胎儿发育、孕妇情绪的积极作用,并进一步探讨了音乐胎教的现状以及不足,未来音乐胎教领域应关注把握音乐胎教实施的关键时期、提高音乐胎教的质量、保障胎教音乐选择的科学性等方面,以此通过音乐胎教提升母婴健康水平。
