Abstract
The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study is to determine the effect of singing or playing melodica activity applied to COPD patients on their symptoms, self-efficacy levels, and exercise capacities. The study was carried out in the chest diseases polyclinics of a hospital in Turkey between September 2020 and August 2021 with 30 patients: 15 in the control group and 15 in the song/melodica group. The data were collected with a patient information form and the scales examining disease symptoms, self-efficacy, and exercise capacity. The physical symptom, anxiety, Borg dyspnea, and fatigue scores of the disease in the post-test were significantly lower in the patients in the song/melodica group than those in the control group. In the post-test, the self-efficacy level, walking distance values were found to be significantly higher in the song/melodica group than in the control group. It is concluded that singing or playing melodica was an effective method in reducing the symptoms of the disease and enhancing the level of self-efficacy and exercise capacity in COPD patients.
期刊介绍:
Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management.
For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
