2. VIPS-i kirjeldus
2.1. Nimetus: Music Therapy Micro-Interventions
2.2. Lühikirjeldus (sh metoodiline alus): Music Therapy Micro-Interventions (MTMI) sobib
rakendamiseks madala lävega vaimse tervise teenustes tänu oma lühiformaadile, struktureeritusele
ja skaleeritavusele. MTMI defineeritakse kui lühiajaline, struktureeritud terapeutiline sekkumine,
milles kasutatakse spetsiifilisi muusikateraapia tehnikaid kliendi konkreetse eesmärgi
saavutamiseks (de Witte et al., 2022). RECEPTIVE MICRO-INTERVENTION (kuulamisel
põhinev) struktuur: 1) eesmärgi seadmine (nt ärevuse vähendamine) 2) juhendatud muusika
kuulamine 3) füsioloogilise ja emotsionaalse seisundi jälgimine (nt hingamise aeglustumine) 4)
refleksioon ja tähenduse loomine. ACTIVE MICRO-INTERVENTION (aktiivne variant)
struktuur: 1) emotsionaalse seisundi kaardistamine 2) aktiivne muusikaline tegevus (rütm,
improvisatsioon, hääl) 3) emotsioonide väljendamine ja reguleerimine 4) refleksioon.
2.3. Sihtrühm (vanuserühm jne): 15-64. Gruppide korral vanusepõhiselt 15–24, 25–44, 45–64.
2.4. Piirkond: Saaremaa, Rapla maakond
2.5. Formaat (individuaal, grupi, kombineeritud): nii individuaal kui grupp
2.6. Struktuur (seansside arv, ühe seansi kestus minutites, grupisekkumiste korral inimeste arv grupis):
Individuaalne 1–8 sessiooni; seansi pikkus 45-60 minutit. Grupisekkumise korral 4-8 sessiooni,
grupis kuni 12 osalejat ning sekkumise pikkus 90 minutit.
2.7. Vorm (kohapeal, veebis jne): kohapeal (individuaalne ja grupp), veebis (individuaalne)
2.8. Tõenduspõhisus (viidata uuringutele, rahvusvahelisele kasutusele; lisada viited või allikad): MTMI
on teaduspõhiselt arendatud ja ekspertide poolt valideeritud muusikateraapia lühisekkumine, mis
sisaldab struktureeritud receptive ja active sekkumist (de Witte et al., 2022). Sekkumine töötati välja
52 empiirilise uuringu analüüsi ning praktikute kogemuse põhjal ning valideeriti Delphi meetodil
16 eksperdi hinnangute kaudu. Tulemused näitavad olulist mõju stressi ja ärevuse vähendamisel.
Hinnates aktiivse variandi mõju depressioonile (Erkkilä et al., 2011) leiti depressiooni, ärevuse ja
stressi vähenemist. Sekkumise mõju põhineb: närvisüsteemi regulatsioonil (tempo, rütm);
1
emotsionaalsel väljendusel ja töötlemisel; terapeutilisel attunement’il (muusikaline kooskõla
spetsialisti ja kliendi vahel).
Meta-analüüsid ja süstemaatilised ülevaated näitavad, et muusikateraapia sekkumised vähendavad
ärevust (SMD ≈ -0.36) ning parandavad emotsionaalset regulatsiooni ning on efektiivsed ka
lühiformaadis sekkumistena sh Cochrane Collaboration (Bradt et al., 2016; de Witte et al., 2020; de
Witte et al., 2022; Gold et al., 2009). Muusikateraapia sekkumised on seotud: kortisooli taseme
vähenemisega; südamerütmi ja erutuse regulatsiooniga; emotsionaalse seisundi paranemisega. isegi
üksikseansid võivad vähendada ärevust ja füsioloogilist stressi (de Witte et al., 2022). Lisaks näitavad
meta-analüüsid, et muusikateraapia vähendab ärevust ja stressi, parandab emotsionaalset regulatsiooni
ning on efektiivne ka lühiformaadis sekkumistena (Bradt et al., 2016; de Witte et al., 2020; de Witte et
al., 2022; Gold et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2025). Muusikateraapia tõenduspõhisust on kirjeldatud ka Põld,
Kleinberg et al. 2024 tuues välja, et muusikateraapia on depressiooniga noorukitel lastel tavaraviga
võrreldes oluliselt efektiivsem.
2.9. Kinnitus sekkumise juhendi olemasolu kohta (lisada näidis või kirjeldus): MTMI protokoll on
kirjeldatud de Witte et al. 2022 ning lisatud ka taotlusele (Lisa 1)
2.10. Varasem rakendamine (rakendamise maht ja kestus): MTMI on rakendatud siiani
muusikaterapeutide poolt nii lühisekkumisena, sotsiaalses rehabilitatsioonis, tööalases
rehabilitatsioonis kui haiglaravis. Kuna eraldi ei ole mõõdetud sekkumise mahtu, siis seda välja
tuua on keeruline. Samas on nii sotsiaalses rehabilitatsioonis kui KOV vaimse tervise teenustena
loovteraapiad üheks enimkasutatud teenuseks, mistõttu võib väita, et sekkumist on rakendatud
olulises mahus.
2.11. Tagasiside kogumise viis: Eraldiseisvalt ei ole sekkumise osas tagasisidet kogutud vaid tulemusi
on mõõdetud kõigi kliendile võimaldatud sekkumiste kogumine. Edaspidi saab VIPS
rakendamisel mõju mõõtmisel kasutatakse EEK-2 või WHO-5 heaolu indeks (enne ja pärast).
Mõlemad hindamismeetodid on valideeritud ning sobilikud sihtgrupile (Allgaier et al, 2012;
Streimann et al. 2021).
3. Nimetus: Music-Based Relaxation Interventions
3.1. Lühikirjeldus (sh metoodiline alus): Music-Based Relaxation Interventions (MBRI) on
struktureeritud madala intensiivsusega sekkumine, mis ühendab muusika kuulamise (keskmiselt
tempoga 60-80bpm) ja lõõgastus- ja regulatsioonitehnikatega (nt hingamine, juhendatud
kujutluspildid või progressiivne lihaslõdvestus). Sekkumine sobib rakendamiseks lühiformaadis
ning sisaldab eesmärgistamist, füsioloogilise rahustamise faasi, muusikapõhist regulatsiooni (10–
20 min, tempo 60–80 bpm) ning refleksiooni. Protokoll põhineb meta-analüüsidel ja kontrollitud
uuringutel, mis näitavad, et muusikapõhised sekkumised vähendavad stressi ja ärevust ning
mõjutavad autonoomset närvisüsteemi.
3.2. Sihtrühm (vanuserühm jne): 15-64
3.3. Piirkond: Saaremaa, Rapla maakond
3.4. Formaat (individuaal, grupi, kombineeritud): individuaalne, grupp
3.5. Struktuur (seansside arv, ühe seansi kestus minutites, grupisekkumiste korral inimeste arv grupis):
6-10 korda sagedusega 1-2 korda nädalas, kestvus 30 minutit. Grupi puhul kestvus 60 minutit
ning grupis kuni 8 osalejat. Sekkumine on eelneval juhendamisel ka kliendi poolt iseseisvalt
rakendatav.
3.6. Vorm (kohapeal, veebis jne): kohapeal
3.7. Tõenduspõhisus (viidata uuringutele, rahvusvahelisele kasutusele; lisada viited või allikad: Meta-
analüüsid ja randomiseeritud uuringud näitavad ärevuse ja stressi vähenemist ning emotsionaalse
regulatsiooni paranemist (de Witte et al., 2020, Giordano et al, 2022, Nguyen et l., 2023,
Eckhouse et al. 2014, Chi et al., 2015, Bradt et al., 2013).

3.9. Varasem rakendamine (rakendamise maht ja kestus): MBRI on rakendatud siiani
muusikaterapeutide poolt nii lühisekkumisena, sotsiaalses rehabilitatsioonis, tööalases
rehabilitatsioonis kui haiglaravis. Kuna eraldi ei ole mõõdetud sekkumise mahtu, siis seda välja
tuua on keeruline. Samas on nii sotsiaalses rehabilitatsioonis kui KOV vaimse tervise teenustena

Mõlemad hindamismeetodid on valideeritud ning sobilikud sihtgrupile (Allgaier et al, 2012;
Streimann et al. 2021).
4. Nimetus: Vibroakustilise teraapia
4.1. Lühikirjeldus (sh metoodiline alus): Vibroakustiline teraapia (VAT) on ravimeetod, mille puhul
kasutatakse madalasageduslikke siinushelisid vahemikus 30–120Hz kombineerituna muusikaga
(Rüütel, 1998a). Tänapäeval on madalsagedusega helivibratsiooniteraapia üks muusikateraapia
rakendusi, mida praktiseeritakse kogu maailmas. Rüütel (1998a) toob välja, et vibroakustilises
teraapias kasutatav muusika on reeglina mahe, improviseeritud ja ilma rõhutatud rütmita. VAT
sekkumise ajal kasutatakse juhendatud relaksatsiooni samaaegselt muusikaga. Kliinilises praktikas
ja teadusuuringutes kasutatakse tüüpprotokolli: Eesmärgistamine (2–5 min),
Lõõgastusinduktsioon (5–10 min), Muusikapõhine lõõgastus (15–25 min), Refleksioon (5–10
min)
4.2. Sihtrühm (vanuserühm jne): 15-64
4.3. Piirkond: Saaremaa, Rapla maakond
4.4. Formaat (individuaal, grupi, kombineeritud): individuaalne
4.5. Struktuur (seansside arv, ühe seansi kestus minutites, grupisekkumiste korral inimeste arv grupis):
8-10 korda sagedusega 1-2 korda nädalas, kestvus 45-60 minutit.
4.6. Vorm (kohapeal, veebis jne): kohapeal
4.7. Tõenduspõhisus (viidata uuringutele, rahvusvahelisele kasutusele; lisada viited või allikad:
Teadusuuringutes on tõendatud VAT sekkumiste abistavat mõju nii ühekordse sekkumise korral
(Kantor et al, 2022, Bergström-Isacsson et al, 2007) kui ka pikemate sekkumiste võimaldamisel
(Sigurdardóttir et al, 2019; Ahonen, Deek, Kroeker, 2012; Rogers et al, 2007; Leandertz et al,
2021, Skille ja Wigram, 1995; Rüütel ja Vinkel (2011). Bartel ja Mosabbir (2021) metanalüüs toob
ulatuslikult välja uurimistööde rohkuse helivibratsiooni kasutamisel füsioloogilisest,
neuroloogilisest ja biokeemilisest mõjust, sh 40Hz kasutamisest. Lõõgastustehnikad koos juhitud
kujutlustega on osutunud tõhusaks valu, ärevuse, depressiooni ja ravimite kasutamise
vähendamisel (Tusek et al, 1997) nii täiskasvanutel kui lastel (Álvarez-García ja Yaban, 2020) ning
seda eriti juhul, kui muusika ja juhitud kujutlust kasutatakse VAT sekkumise ajal (Alam et al,
2016). Sigurdardóttir et al (2019) uuringus oli 18 depressiivset klienti vanuses 18–70 a, kellele
võimaldati tavapärasele depressiooniravile lisaks 3–4 nädala jooksul kaheksa 20 minutilist VAT
seanssi koos muusikaga. Uuringus oli ka 20 liikmega kontrollgrupp, kes sai tavapärast
depressiooniravi. Tulemusena leiti, et võrreldes kontrollgrupiga oli VAT sekkumist saanud
patsientide depressioon vähenenud oluliselt rohkemal määral kui kontrollgrupis. Tegemist on ühe
kvaliteetseima uuringuga viimastel aastatel, mis valideerib VAT ravi depressiooniravis. Ahonen,
Deek, Kroeker (2012) viisid samuti läbi uuringu hindamaks VAT mõju stressi korral. 10

muusikavaldkonna üliõpilasega (vanuste vahemikkus ei ole esitatud) uuringus oli sekkumise
pikkuseks 30–60 minutit sõltuvalt osaleja vajadustest, sekkumiste arv oli 6–8 seanssi ning kasutati
sagedusi vahemikus 27–113Hz. Uuringu tulemusel nenditi, et sekkumisgrupil suurenes
subjektiivne heaolutunne (füüsiline ja emotsionaalne lõõgastus, vähenenud valu ja stress,
suurenenud emotsionaalne võimekus ja kontsentreerumine). Kantor et al (2022) uurisid
ühekordse VAT ja muusika sekkumise mõju 22 akuutsete stressinäitajatega ülikooli üliõpilasega,
vanuses 18–40. a. Kasutatud sagedus sekkumisgrupis oli 0–100Hz ning seansi pikkus kuni 50
minutit. Uuringus oli ka 28 osalejaga kontrollgrupp, kes kuulas sekkumisgrupiga sama muusikat
kuid ilma madalsagedusliku vibratsioonita. Stressinäitajatena kasutati pulsi sagedust, stressiga
seotud valu (hindamise mõõdik Visual analogue scales) ja lihaste lõdvestust. Selle pilootuuringu
tulemused näitasid, et madala sagedusega heli võib kasutada stressijuhtimise vahendina
hariduskeskkonnas, nt ülikoolis. Leiti, et madala sagedusega heli suurendab parasümpaatilise
närvisüsteemi aktiivsust ning toetab subjektiivse stressireaktsiooni ja lihaspingete leevendamist.
Soomes asub meetodi arendamise eestvedaja (https://www.vibrac.fi/vibroacoustic-therapy/ )
ning Soomes rakendatakse VAT rehabilitatsioonis muusikateraapia teenuse raames. Teadustöid
on rohkelt kajastatud ka Next Wave Physio veebilehel.
4.8. Kinnitus sekkumise juhendi olemasolu kohta (lisada näidis või kirjeldus): VAT protsess on
kirjeldatud Rüütel et al (2004). Sekkumise protokoll lisatud failina – „Lisa 2. VAT seansi

4.9. Varasem rakendamine (rakendamise maht ja kestus): VAT on rakendatud siiani
muusikaterapeutide poolt nii lühisekkumisena, sotsiaalses rehabilitatsioonis kui haiglaravis.
4.10. Tagasiside kogumise viis: mõju mõõtmisel kasutatakse EEK-2, ESDS-6, NRS. Mõõtmisvahendid

6.5. Riskijuhtimise plaan: Keskus on tegutsenud aastaid ning meie meeskond on laiem kui taotluses
välja toodud. Seega on risk, et teenuseosutajal tekib personali puudus, väike. Seadmed VAT
osutamiseks on olemas ning vajadusel on olemas võimekus ka soetada seadmeid juurde. Samuti
on muusikateraapiliste lühisekkumiste osutamiseks vajalikud töövahendid olemas. Ruumid on
keskusel olemas nii Raplas kui Saaremaal (Orissaares ja Kuressaares). Teenuse järjepidevuse
tagamiseks on keskusel piisaval arvul spetsialiste, kes on kvalifitseeritud teenuseid osutama.
Teenuse kättesaadavuse osas informatsiooni jagamisel kasutatakse kohalikke tervishoiu- ja
sotsiaalvõrgustikke, sotsiaalmeediat, haridusvaldkonna asutusi, valdkonnas elanikke koondavaid
MTÜsid. Samuti on mõlemas piirkonnas TERVIK ettevalmistuseks loodud koostöömudelid,
mille kaudu informatsiooni teenuse olemasolust on võimalik jagada.
6.6. Kinnitus metoodika kasutusõiguse kohta: Kinnitame õigust metoodikaid rakendada. Spetsialistid

9. Selgitus, kuidas kavandatav tegevus aitab tervikuna suurendada VIPS-i rakendamise võimekust Eestis
(nt spetsialistide ettevalmistus, sekkumise kättesaadavus, rakendamise maht või organisatsiooniline
suutlikkus).
Muusikateraapia lühisekkumiste laiem rakendamine loob laialdasemad võimalused klienditele, kellel on
raskendatud verbaalne eneseanalüüs või väljendus. Samuti toovad loovteraapia meetodid nähtavale
alateadvusest selle, mida inimene ise ei oska sõnastada. Piisava ja asjakohase täiendõppe korral on
võimalik neid sekkumisi laiapõhjaliselt rakendada alates koolieelsetest lasteasutustest kuni elukaare
lõpufaasis olevatele inimestele. Eeldus väljaõppe läbimiseks on varasem muusikaga kokkupuude (nt
muusikaõpetajad, laste muusikakoolis käimine, individuaalne pilliõpe vms). Perspektiivis näeme 2027
koolitusprogrammi koostamist ja väljeõppe võimaluse pakkumist spetsialistide väljaõppeks mahus 50-
60h sh praktika, mille järel on võimalik taotluses toodud sekkumisi uutel spetsialistidel rakendada.
Õppekava eelnõu on meil koostamisel ning pädevused koolitust läbi viia olemas sh koolitustegevuse
kogemus. Leiame, et muusikateraapia lühisekkumiste kättesaadavuse suurendamisel vähendab see
ühiskonnas uskumust, et ainult kliiniline psühholoog ja psühhiaater on mõjusad vaimse tervise
abivahendid ning keskendumine kahele piirkonnale, mis ei ole nn keskused, tooma kvaliteetsed teenused
elanikkonnale kogukonnas kättesaadavaks laiendades sellega elanikkonna ja sihtrühmade kaetust vaimse
tervise teenustega.
VAT – lühisekkumisena rakendatav kogu elukaare ulatuses ning selle lühisekkumisena rakendamiseks
on uutele spetsialistidele vajalik VAT väljaõpe kättesaadav VIBRAC I mooduli veebikoolitusena1 või
Eestis kohapealse koolitusena (koolitaja pädevus Ivar Vinkel’l). Vajalikud seadmed on võimalik
ühekordse ostuga hankida ning nende hinnaskaala on erinev vastavalt sekkumise pakkuja võimalustele.
Seadmete osas on olemas nii väikesed kaasaskantavad seadme, kaasaskantavad madratsid kuni püsival
asukohaga voodid. Nt Next Wave Physio (Soome tootja), Multivib (Norra tootja), Vibracare. Üheks
võimaluseks on VAT rakendada ka koolides ja lasteaedades, kus on loodud eraldi sensoorsed ja/või
nn rahunemistoad. Seega perspektiivis spetsialistide ettevalmistuse korraldus on lihtne ja ei ole kulukas
ning sekkumine saab olla kättesaadav nii kogukonna teenusena kui haridus- ja sotsiaalasutustes
kohapeal.
Kinnitused
Kinnitan, et esitatud andmed on õiged ning vastan määruses sätestatud nõuetele.
Kinnitan, et taotluses esitatud kulude katteks ei ole saadud ega taotleta toetust Euroopa Liidu fondidest,
riigieelarvest ega muudest avaliku sektori vahenditest.

Delphi Method In this study, a music therapy micro-intervention for stress reduction was developed based on both empirical and
practice-based knowledge. First, the micro-intervention was described based on both findings from empirical
studies (N = 52) focused on the effects of music therapy on stress reduction, and from a previously conducted
focus group study focused on the perspectives of music therapists. Second, the Delphi technique was applied to
collect feedback on the micro-intervention described, by surveying a panel of 16 music therapy experts. This
procedure resulted in an improved description of the music therapy micro-intervention for stress reduction,
including a receptive and an active intervention variant. Implications for clinical practice and recommendations
for future research are discussed.

VAT seansi struktuur
TLÜ VAT laboris
Lülitada sisse tehnikatorni kõik seadmed. NB: taustamuusika CD-
mängijat on võimalik sisse lülitada ainult siis, kui taustamuusika võimendi
on sisse lülitatud.
Seada voodiruum korda (enne kliendi saabumist): lülitada sisse
lisaks suurele põrandalambile ka väiksed põrandalambid tehnikatorni
laua all, korrastada voodi.
1. Pakkuda kliendile istet.
Ainult esimesel seansil
2. Lühike selgitus VAT meetodist kliendile.
Igal seansil
3. Jäädvustada kliendi hetkeseisund mõõdikute/intervjuu jne abil.
4. Paluda kliendil VAT voodile selili heita nii, et tema jalad jäävad
taustamuusika kõlarite poolsesse otsa. Kui selili ei ole mugav (on valus,
ei ole võimalik), siis leida mugavaim kehaasend. Öelda, et seansi ajal
võib soovi korral kehaasendit muuta: võib keerata külili või kõhuli, kui
selliselt on mugavam.
5. Küsida padja kõrguse sobivuse kohta – vajadusel panna lisapadi või
võtta padi ära.
6. Küsida, kas soovib tekki peale. Asetada tekk vastavalt kliendi soovile
(pikka kasvu klientidele 2 tekki – üks nii, et katab ülakeha, teine nii, et
katab alakeha ja jalad).
7. Selgitada, et järgnevalt lülitad sisse madalasagedusliku vibratsiooni
(vibatsiooniprogrammi CD-mängija on tehnikatornis kõige ülemine
seadeldis, vastava kleebisega esipaneelil; muusika CD-mängija on
tehnikatornis alt kolmas seadeldis, samuti varustatud vastava
kleebisega; CD-mängija nupud: ▲ - plaadisahtli avamise/sulgemise
nupp, ►∕║ - plaadi mängima-/pausilepanemise nupp, ■ - plaadi
peatamise nupp, |<< - eelmise heliraja valiku nupp, >>| - järgmise
heliraja valiku nupp).
8. Reguleerida vibratsiooni helitugevus patsiendile sobivaks. Selleks
kasutada vibratsiooniprogrammi helivõimendit, mis tehnikatornis on
kõige alumine seadeldis (vastava kleebisega). Järgnevalt võimendi
helinivoode regulaatorite tähised:
CH1 – turjapiirkonna valjuhääldi;
CH2 – nimmepiirkonna valjuhääldi;
CH3 – reitepiirkonna valjuhääldigrupp;
CH4 – säärtepiirkonna valjuhääldigrupp.
Aja kokkuhoiu mõttes võib kõik neli regulaatorit mõjutusele eelnevalt
keerata tähiseni „1“. Kui klient on juba voodis pikali, siis vibratsiooni
helitugevuse reguleerimist alustada säärtepiirkonna valjuhääldigrupist –
kui regulaator on juba tähiseni „1“ keeratud, siis küsida, kas klient juba
vibratsiooni tunnetab. Kui jah, siis küsida, kas vibratsioon säärte
piirkonnas on paraja tugevusega või tuleks seda tugevamaks/nõrgemaks
seada. Kui säärtepiirkonna vibratsiooni sobiv tugevus (mitte liiga nõrk
ega ebameeldivalt tugev) on leitud, siis sarnaselt äsjatoodule reguleerida
vibratsiooni helitugevused ka ülejäänud valjuhääldigruppide jaoks (NB!
Kuna peale viimase valjuhääldigrupi sobiva helitugevuse leidmist tajub
inimene kehas kõigi valjuhääldigruppide helitugevuste summat, siis
küsida, kas helitugevus summaarselt on sobiv). Kui sobivad nivood on
leitud, siis esimese (paari) seansi puhul keerata kõigi valjuhääldigruppide
helitugevus veidi vähemaks, sest mõjutuse jooksul keha
vibratsioonitundlikkus suureneb.
9. Selgitada, mis protseduuri ajal edasi toimub, nt: „Kui järgnevalt
taustamuusika helitugevus on sobivaks reguleeritud, jään mina mõjutuse
ajaks kuuldeulatusse samasse ruumi, kus praegu viibin. Kui midagi
juhtub või on ebamugav, siis andke häälega märku, reageerin kohe.“
10. Reguleerida taustamuusika helitugevus kliendile sobivaks. Selleks
kasutada taustamuusika helivõimendit, mis tehnikatornis on alt teine
seadeldis (vastava kleebisega). Kui taustamuusika heli hakkab kostma,
küsida, kas see on kliendi jaoks sobiv helitugevus. Reguleerida vastavalt
kliendi antud tagasisidele.
12. Küsida kliendilt, kas tal on mugav, kas kõik on sobiv. Eitava vastuse
korral kõrvaldada puudujäägid, positiivse vastuse korral nt soovida
„Head lõdvestumist“.
13. Jääda laua taha kuni VA mõjutuse lõpuni (umbes 23 min, jälgida
kellalt).
14. Kui VA mõjutus on lõppenud, siis keerata taustamuusika helitugevus
aeglaselt ja sujuvalt „nulli“.
15. Kui klient on uinunud, siis äratada rahulikult.
16. Jäädvustada kliendi hetkeseisund mõõdikute/intervjuu jne abil.
Küsida mõjutuse ajal kogetu kohta. NB! Kliendi hetkeseisundit võib
jäädvustada ka pärast kliendi voodist tõusmist laua ääres istudes.
17. Kui kliendi hetkeseisund on jäädvustatud, siis paluda kliendil
aeglaselt ja rahulikult voodis istuli tõusta, ja mõne aja pärast püsti tõusta.
Pärast seansi muude formaalsuste lõpetamist (nt järgmise seansi aja
kokku leppimine) võib klient VAT ruumist lahkuda.
Enne VAT ruumist lahkumist keerata nii vibratsiooniprogrammi kui
taustamuusika võimendi helinivoo regulaatorid „nulli“, seejärel
lülitada kõik seadmed ja lambid välja.
Music-Based Relaxation Intervention (MBRI) – Protokoll ja tõenduspõhisus
Lühikirjeldus: Music-Based Relaxation Intervention (MBRI) on struktureeritud
lühisekkumine, mis kombineerib juhendatud lõõgastuse ja muusika kuulamise. Sekkumine on
suunatud ärevuse, stressi ja emotsionaalse erutuse vähendamisele ning sobib madala
intensiivsusega teenustesse.
Protokoll (20–30 min sessioon)
1. Eesmärgistamine (1–3 min)
- kliendi seisundi kaardistamine
- eesmärgi sõnastamine (nt ärevuse vähendamine)
2. Lõõgastusinduktsioon (5–10 min)
- juhendatud hingamine või progressiivne lihaslõdvestus
- tähelepanu suunamine kehale
3. Muusikapõhine regulatsioon (10–20 min)
- rahustava muusika kuulamine (tempo 60–80 bpm)
- tähelepanu hingamisel ja kehatunnetusel
- tempo ja struktuur toetavad autonoomse närvisüsteemi regulatsiooni tähelepanu:
hingamisel, kehal, kujutluspiltidel.
- muusika võib olla terapeudi valitud või individuaalselt kohandatud
4. Refleksioon (3–5 min)
- kogemuse sõnastamine
- seos igapäevaeluga
Toimemehhanism
✓ autonoomse närvisüsteemi regulatsioon
✓ südamerütmi ja hingamise sünkroniseerimine
✓ emotsionaalse erutuse vähenemine
✓ stressihormoonide (nt kortisool) vähenemine
Tõenduspõhisus: Meta-analüüsid ja süstemaatilised ülevaated näitavad, et muusikapõhised
sekkumised vähendavad stressi ja ärevust ning parandavad emotsionaalset regulatsiooni.
Efektid on keskmise suurusega ning ilmnevad ka lühiformaadis sekkumiste puhul.
Uuringud näitavad, et isegi üksikseansid võivad vähendada ärevust ja füsioloogilist
stressireaktsiooni. Muusika mõju autonoomsele närvisüsteemile hõlmab südamerütmi,
vererõhu ja kortisooli taseme muutusi.

Vibroakustilise muusikateraapia sekkumise protokoll
Skille–Wigram mudel on vibroakustilise teraapia (VAT) kõige mõjukam ja laialdasemalt
kasutatav teoreetiline-kliiniline raamistik, mille töötasid välja Olav Skille ja Tony Wigram
1980.–1990. aastatel.
1. Hindamine (Assessment)
Vibroakustilise muusikateraapia (VAT) sekkumine algab kliendi põhjaliku hindamisega.
Hindamine hõlmab anamneesi kogumist (neuroloogiline, psühholoogiline ja füüsiline seisund),
vastunäidustuste välistamist (nt ägedad põletikud, tromboos, teatud raseduse etapid) ning
terapeutiliste eesmärkide seadmist (nt valu vähendamine, ärevuse leevendamine, lihaspinge
alandamine).
2. Seadistus (Equipment & Setup)
VAT sekkumiseks kasutatakse vibroakustilist lamamistooli või madratsit, mis edastab
madalsageduslikku heli kehale. Kasutatakse sagedusvahemikku 20–120 Hz. Keskkond peab
olema rahulik, vaikne ja minimaalse stimulatsiooniga.
3. Sagedusprotokoll
Tüüpiline sessioon kestab 20–45 minutit, sagedusega 1–3 korda nädalas. Sagedused valitakse
vastavalt eesmärgile: 20–50 Hz lõõgastuseks, 40 Hz neuroloogiliseks stimulatsiooniks, 60–80
Hz lihaspinge reguleerimiseks. Sageli kasutatakse sweep-tehnikat (muutuv sagedus).
4. Muusikaline komponent
Muusika valitakse terapeutiliselt: aeglane tempo (60–80 BPM), madal dünaamika ja
harmooniline stabiilsus. Muusika võib olla eelnevalt salvestatud või live-esitus.
5. Terapeutiline protsess
Klient lamab seadmel ning terapeut jälgib füsioloogilisi reaktsioone, kohandab sagedusi ning
juhendab vajadusel hingamist või kujutluspilte.
6. Järelhindamine
Seansi järel hinnatakse subjektiivseid ja objektiivseid muutusi, sealhulgas valu (VAS), ärevust
ja füsioloogilisi näitajaid.

Supportive Counseling kui madala intensiivsusega sekkumine
Lühikirjeldus
Supportive counseling on madala intensiivsusega psühholoogiline sekkumine, mis põhineb
aktiivsel kuulamisel, empaatilisel suhtlemisel ja emotsionaalsel toetamisel.
Supportive counseling sekkumine põhineb mitte-direktiivse toetava nõustamise (non-directive
supportive therapy) mudelil, mille keskmes on aktiivne kuulamine, peegeldamine ja emotsionaalne
valideerimine. Sekkumine on sobiv kerge kuni mõõduka psühholoogilise distressi (nt ärevus,
stress, depressiivsed sümptomid) leevendamiseks ning on struktureeritud lühiformaadis (1–6
sessiooni) rakendatav kogukonna- ja esmatasandi teenustes. Sekkumisel on selgelt kirjeldatud
struktuur ja korduvad komponendid, mida rakendatakse kindlas järjekorras.
Sekkumise protokoll (35–50 min sessioon)
1. Avamine ja kontakti loomine (5 min)
- turvalise keskkonna loomine
- avatud küsimuste kasutamine
2. Probleemi eksploratsioon (15–20 min)
- aktiivne kuulamine
- peegeldamine (sisu ja emotsioonide tasandil)
3. Emotsionaalne tugi (10–15 min)
- valideerimine
- normaliseerimine
- empaatia
4. Kokkuvõte ja sulgemine (5–10 min)
- põhipunktide kokkuvõte
- lihtsad toimetuleku sammud
Rakendatavad tehnikad
- aktiivne kuulamine (active listening)
- peegeldamine (reflection)
- valideerimine (validation)
- normaliseerimine (normalization)
- toetav tagasiside (encouragement)
Tõenduspõhisus
Sekkumise efektiivsust toetavad meta-analüüsid, mis näitavad, et mitte-direktiivne supportive
therapy on efektiivne kerge kuni mõõduka depressiooni korral ning avaldavad olulist mõju
depressiooni ja psühholoogilise distressi vähendamisel (Cuijpers et al., 2012; Wampold & Imel,
2015).
Supportive counseling aktiveerib “common factors” mehhanismid, milleks on terapeutiline
suhe, empaatia, kuulamine, mis omakorda on olulised sekkumise mõju ennustajad (Bruce
Wampold & Imel, 2015)

2. VIPS-i kirjeldus:
2.1. Nimetus: Supportive counceling (Kogukonna psühholoogiline lühinõustamine)
2.2. Lühikirjeldus (sh metoodiline alus): Supportive counseling on madala intensiivsusega
struktureeritud psühholoogiline sekkumine, mis põhineb aktiivsel kuulamisel,
peegeldamisel ja emotsionaalsel valideerimisel. Sekkumine järgib struktureeritud
sessioonimudelit, mis hõlmab probleemi uurimist, empaatilist peegeldamist ja toetavat
kokkuvõtet (Cuijpers et al., 2012; Wampold & Imel, 2015). Sekkumise eesmärk on
parandada kliendi emotsionaalset heaolu, toetada toimetulekuoskusi ning pakkuda turvalist
ruumi kogemuste jagamiseks. Erinevalt kõrgema intensiivsusega psühhoteraapiatest ei
keskendu supportive counseling sügavale psühhodünaamilisele analüüsile ega keerukatele
kognitiivsetele tehnikatele, vaid emotsionaalsele kohalolule ja toetavale suhtele. Empaatial
ja reflektiivsel kuulamisel põhinev lähenemine toetab emotsionaalset regulatsiooni ja
enesemõistmist ning tugevdab sekkumise mõju. Sekkumine on sobiv kerge kuni mõõduka
psühholoogilise distressi (nt ärevus, stress, depressiivsed sümptomid) leevendamiseks ning
rakendatav lühiformaadis (1–6 sessiooni) kogukonna- ja esmatasandi teenustes. Supportive
counseling on mitte-direktiivne, emotsionaalset tuge pakkuv sekkumine, mis keskendub a)
aktiivsele kuulamisele, b) emotsioonide valideerimisele c) toimetuleku toetamisele.
Uuringutes on toodud korduv selge sessiooni struktuur ja komponendid.
2.3. Sihtrühm (vanuserühm jne): 15-64. Gruppide korral vanusepõhiselt 15–24, 25–44, 45–
64.
2.4. Piirkond: Saaremaa, Rapla maakond
2.5. Formaat (individuaal, grupi, kombineeritud): nii individuaalne
1
2.6. Struktuur (seansside arv, ühe seansi kestus minutites, grupisekkumiste korral inimeste arv
grupis): individuaalse kohtumise pikkus 30-60 minutit. Tegemist võib olla ühekordse
sekkumise või pikemaajalise (kuni 6 kohtumist).
2.7. Vorm (kohapeal, veebis jne): kohapeal ja veebis
2.8. Tõenduspõhisus (viidata uuringutele, rahvusvahelisele kasutusele; lisada viited või allikad):
Juhendatud sekkumised (st sekkumised, kus osalejat toetab juhendaja või nõustaja) on
osutunud oluliselt efektiivsemaks kui täielikult iseseisvad eneseabivormid, näidates
suuremat mõju sümptomite vähenemisele ning paremat sekkumises püsimist (Baumeister
et al., 2014). Madala lävega kogukonnakeskustes pakutav psühholoogiline lühinõustamine
ja aktiivne kuulamine on kooskõlas rahvusvaheliselt tunnustatud low-intensity psychological
interventions mudeliga, mille efektiivsust toetavad arvukad randomiseeritud
kontrolluuringud ja süstemaatilised ülevaated. Eriti tugev tõendus on kognitiiv-
käitumuslikel ja juhendatud eneseabi sekkumistel, mis on efektiivsed kerge kuni mõõduka
depressiooni ja ärevuse vähendamisel. Aktiivne kuulamine ja empaatiline suhtlus on nende
sekkumiste keskne komponent, toimides terapeutilise liidu ja muutuse mehhanismina.
Meta-analüütilised uuringud on ka näidanud, et terapeutiline liit, empaatia ja valideerimine
on olulised ennustajad positiivsetele ravitulemustele sõltumata konkreetsest
teraapiameetodist (Wampold & Imel, 2015). Supportive counseling põhineb teaduskirjanduses
kirjeldatud ja manualiseeritud lähenemistel, sh Brief Supportive Psychotherapy (BSP),
mida on kasutatud randomiseeritud uuringutes ning mille keskmes on empaatia, aktiivne
kuulamine ja fookus emotsioonidel (Markowitz, 2022). Madala intensiivsusega
sekkumistes täidab aktiivne kuulamine mitut funktsiooni: loob turvalise ja toetava
keskkonna, suurendab osaleja motivatsiooni ja kaasatust, toetab eneserefleksiooni ja
probleemilahendust. Seetõttu on aktiivne kuulamine käsitletav mitte üksnes toetava
elemendina, vaid olulise toimemehhanismina, mille kaudu sekkumine avaldab mõju. Mõju:
1) kognitiivsete mustrite muutus (nt mõttemustrite muutmine); 2) Käitumuslik
aktivatsioon (rohkem tegevust → parem meeleolu); 3) sotsiaalse toe ja kuuluvustunde kasv;
4) Enesetõhususe kasv (inimene õpib ise toime tulema). Tõenduspõhisus näitab, et sellised
mitte-direktiivsed sekkumised on efektiivsed kerge kuni mõõduka distressi vähendamisel
(Cuijpers et al., 2012; Wampold & Imel, 2015).
2.9. Kinnitus sekkumise juhendi olemasolu kohta (lisada näidis või kirjeldus): Sekkumise
protokoll lisatud failina – Lisa 1 Supportive counceling protokoll. Samuti rakendame
vajadusel täiendava materjalina Tervisekassa töövihikuid (depressioon, unevihik (sh
noorte unevihik), ärevus jt).
2.10. Varasem rakendamine (rakendamise kirjeldus, maht ja kestus): Oleme sekkumist
kasutanud mitme aasta vältel erinevate spetsialistide poolt klientidega, kes ei vaja
psühhoteraapiat. Samuti noorte nõustamisel. Näeme, et sageli on piisavalt abistav see, kui
klient saab väljendada enda mõtteid ja tundeid ning teda kuulatakse ja peegeldatakse (ei
rakendata suhtlemistõkkeid) ning läbi turvalise keskkonna ja toetuse leiab inimene ise
lahendused või ressursi. On hulk sihtgruppe, keda veebipõhised sekkumised ei toeta, kuna
nad ei kasuta neid ega ka hakka kasutama. Meie kogemusel on äärmiselt oluline, et
kogukonnapõhises madala lävendiga vaimse tervise keskustes on elanikul võimalus tulla ja
saada kohest abi. Meie keskusesse on selliselt tulnud emotsionaalselt madalseisus olevad
inimesed, sõprade poolt kohale toodud suitsiidsete mõtetega inimesed, noorukid, kes
kogevad üksildust jne. Sealjuures erinevates vanusegruppides. Senise kogemuse baasil
2
oleme näinud teadusuuringutes toodud psühholoogilise nõustamise kohest mõju ning
näeme vajadust seda püsivalt pakkuda.
2.11. Tagasiside kogumise viis: seni läbi keskuse rahulolu uuringu, mis ei ole sekkumise
põhine. Iga spetsialist on kliendiga kohtumiste lõppedes suuliselt teinud kokkuvõtte
eesmärkide saavutamisest või enesetunde muutusest.

1.4. Riskijuhtimise plaan: Keskus on tegutsenud aastaid ning meie meeskond on laiem kui
taotluses välja toodud. Seega on risk, et teenuseosutajal tekib personali puudus, väike.
Seadmed VAT osutamiseks on olemas ning vajadusel on olemas võimekus ka soetada
seadmeid juurde. Samuti on muusikateraapiliste lühisekkumiste osutamiseks vajalikud
töövahendid olemas. Ruumid on keskusel olemas nii Raplas kui Saaremaal (Orissaares ja
Kuressaares). Teenuse järjepidevuse tagamiseks on keskusel piisaval arvul spetsialiste, kes
on kvalifitseeritud teenuseid osutama. Teenuse kättesaadavuse osas informatsiooni
jagamisel kasutatakse kohalikke tervishoiu- ja sotsiaalvõrgustikke, sotsiaalmeediat,
haridusvaldkonna asutusi, valdkonnas elanikke koondavaid MTÜsid. Samuti on mõlemas
piirkonnas TERVIK ettevalmistuseks loodud koostöömudelid, mille kaudu
informatsiooni teenuse olemasolust on võimalik jagada.
1.5. Kinnitus metoodika kasutusõiguse kohta: Kinnitame õigust metoodikaid rakendada.
Spetsialistid on väljaõppe läbinud
2. Ühe seansi maksumuse ja kulude põhjendus
2.1. Ühe seansi maksumus (koos seansi formaadiga, kui sama taotlus/VIPS sisaldab erinevaid
formaate): 90eur
2.2. Keskmine kulu ühe teenusesaaja kohta: 450eur
2.3. Seansi maksumuse struktuur – esitada kulude jaotus, sh tööjõukulud, supervisioon,
koolitus, koordineerimine, litsentsi- ja platvormikulud ning kaudsed kulud (kuni 7%
taotletava toetuse üldmahust):
üldkulud (ruumid, vahendid, taristukulud) 31,5
spetsialisti tööjõukulud 292,5
supervisioonifond 45
REHA litsentsikulu 3
koordineerimine 78
kokku 1 teenusesaaja keskmine kulu 450,00
3. Koolitustegevused (vajaduse korral)
3.1. Koolituste kirjeldus ja maht (tundides):
3.2. Koolitatavate spetsialistide arv:
3.3. Koolitatavate superviisorite arv:
3.4. Seos kavandatud rakendamisega ja proportsionaalsuse põhjendus:
3.5. Koolituskulude kogusumma (eurodes) ja osakaal toetuse eelarvest (%):
4. Selgitus, kuidas kavandatav tegevus aitab tervikuna suurendada VIPS-i rakendamise
võimekust Eestis (nt spetsialistide ettevalmistus, sekkumise kättesaadavus, rakendamise maht
või organisatsiooniline suutlikkus).
Saaremaa piirkonnas ei ole vaimse tervise tugi KOV ja riiklike teenustega kaetud mujal kui ainult
Kuressaares. Ka haridusvõrgu tugiteenused on tsentraliseeritud ning kättesaadavad vaid Kuressaares.
Seetõttu on oluline osa hajaasustusega piirkonnast selline, kus kogu elanikkonnal elukaare ulatuses ei
ole vaimse tervise abi kättesaadav. Meie keskus osutab teenuseid Ida-Saaremaal ning vajadus teenuste
4
järele on suur. Kuna aga Saaremaa on palgavaesuse osas Valga järel teisel kohal, siis elanikel teenuste
eest ise tasumiseks ressurssi ei ole. Raplamaal on küll teenuste kättesaadavus Tallinna lähedusest
tulenevalt parem, kuid potentsiaali astmelise abi mudeli I ja II astme rakendamisel meditsiinisüsteemi
koormuse vähendamisel on oluline. Raplas piloteeritakse ka perearstiteenuse osas pilootmudelit
Confidoga, kus inimestel puudub võimalus saada kontakti oma perearstiga või rääkida telefonitsi enda
pereõega. See on viinud esmatasandi terviseteenused inimestest veel kaugemale ning tekitab tunde, et
kellegagi ei ole võimalik rääkida. Seetõttu on äärmiselt oluline võimaldada antud perearstiteenuse
mudeliga piirkonnas VIPSe, kus on võimalik inimesel kellegagi päriselt rääkida. Psühholoogilise
lühinõustamise kättesaadavuse suurendamisel vähendab see ka ühiskonnas laiemalt uskumust, et ainult
kliiniline psühholoog ja psühhiaater on mõjusad vaimse tervise abivahendid ning keskendumine kahele
piirkonnale, mis ei ole nn keskused, tooma kvaliteetsed teenused elanikkonnale kogukonnas
kättesaadavaks laiendades sellega elanikkonna ja sihtrühmade kaetust vaimse tervise teenustega.
Kinnitused
Kinnitan, et esitatud andmed on õiged ning vastan määruses sätestatud nõuetele.
Kinnitan, et taotluses esitatud kulude katteks ei ole saadud ega taotleta toetust Euroopa Liidu
fondidest, riigieelarvest ega muudest avaliku sektori vahenditest.
