Müzik Terapinin Şizofreni Tanılı Bireylerde Günlük Yaşam Aktivitelerine Katılımlarına ve Yaşam Kalitelerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Aim: This study was created to increase the scope of music therapy for daily life, quality of life and functionality of individuals with schizophrenia. Method: The study included 25 individuals between the ages of 25-75 who were diagnosed with schizophrenia, and living in a disability-free living center in the province of Istanbul. Selected individuals listened to Bûselik maqam music, which was recorded in advance, for 30 minutes, in a total of 6 sessions once a week in the morning, in the special area reserved for music therapy. Sociodemographic information form, KATZ Activities of Daily Living Scale, Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, Lawton and Brody's Auxiliary Activities of Daily Living Scale, Brief Selectivity Assessment Scale, and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale are used in the study. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks analysis was used for intragroup comparisons. Results: As a result of the study, no significant difference was detected in the intervals in daily living activities, quality of life and functionality of music therapy before and after the intervention (p>0.05). Conclusion: Regarding this study, receptive music therapy alone is not effective in individuals with schizophrenia. We think that leisure activity training under the leadership of occupational therapists during receptive music therapy will produce healthy results. In this way, we foresee that the intervention programs prepared by occupational therapists in a person-centered manner will increase the social functionality and range of patients and lead to positive results in society.
