Abstract

Introduction

Hospitalization can generate stress and anxiety and lead to depression. Music therapy has been used in hospital environments to promote patient well-being. However, scarce research has examined heterogeneous groups using the single-session format. This controlled clinical trial aimed to compare the effects of three methods of single-session music therapy on reducing anxiety and depression in hospitalized adult patients with diverse endocrine disorders.

Method

Participants (n = 222) were non-randomly distributed into three experimental music therapy groups (compositional, songwriting, and receptive) and a control group. The instruments used were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS; pre-and post-test).

Results

The experimental groups presented a statistically significant decrease in the HADS scores (p < 0.05) compared with the control group. Participants in the experimental groups reported an enhancement in well-being.

Discussion

Single-session music therapy interventions, mainly the receptive method, had a positive impact on reducing anxiety and depression in a heterogeneous group of hospitalized adult patients with endocrinopathies.

单次音乐疗法减少焦虑和抑郁的住院成人在内分泌病房

住院治疗会产生压力和焦虑，导致抑郁。音乐疗法已被用于医院环境，以促进病人的健康。然而，很少有研究使用单次会话格式检查异质组。本临床对照试验旨在比较三种单次音乐治疗方法对减轻多种内分泌失调住院成人患者焦虑和抑郁的效果。方法将222名受试者随机分为作曲组、作词组、接受组和对照组。使用的工具是医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HADS；前后测试）。结果实验组与对照组比较，hds评分均有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。实验组的参与者报告说他们的幸福感增强了。讨论单次音乐治疗干预，主要是接受方法，对减轻内分泌疾病住院成人患者的焦虑和抑郁有积极影响。
