Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused heightened mental distress globally. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the impact of music engagement on stress and anxiety in adults during COVID-19. Thirteen articles were included, encompassing 9,893 adults and reporting on seven forms of music engagement: music listening, singing, playing an instrument, watching music videos or virtual performances, dancing to music, composing, and externally-facilitated music interventions. The majority of articles concluded a beneficial impact of music on stress and anxiety among adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the seven studies that investigated stress, four (57.1%) reported that music had a positive impact on stress and, of the nine studies that investigated anxiety, six (66.7%) reported a positive impact on anxiety. A higher proportion of externally-facilitated music studies reported reductions in stress and anxiety compared to studies with participant-facilitated music interventions. Our systematic review demonstrates the potential feasibility of music to improve mental health outcomes during times of heightened psychological distress. However, given the limited quality of included articles and the high proportion of observational studies, further research is required to better elucidate the effect of music on stress and anxiety among adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，音乐对成年人压力和焦虑的影响：系统回顾

冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）大流行在全球范围内造成了严重的精神压力。本系统性综述旨在研究在 COVID-19 期间音乐参与对成年人压力和焦虑的影响。共收录了 13 篇文章，涉及 9893 名成年人，报告了七种音乐参与形式：听音乐、唱歌、演奏乐器、观看音乐视频或虚拟表演、随音乐起舞、作曲和外部协助的音乐干预。大多数文章认为，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，音乐对成年人的压力和焦虑产生了有益的影响。在七项调查压力的研究中，有四项（57.1%）报告称音乐对压力有积极影响；在九项调查焦虑的研究中，有六项（66.7%）报告称音乐对焦虑有积极影响。与由参与者协助的音乐干预研究相比，由外部协助的音乐研究中报告压力和焦虑减少的比例更高。我们的系统综述表明，在心理困扰加剧的时期，音乐对改善心理健康结果具有潜在的可行性。然而，由于纳入文章的质量有限，且观察性研究的比例较高，因此需要进一步研究，以更好地阐明在 COVID-19 大流行期间音乐对成年人压力和焦虑的影响。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
