The effects of Chinese five‐element music therapy on nursing students with depressed mood

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Chinese five-element music therapy on nursing students with depressed mood. We randomly assigned 71 nursing students from Taiwan with depressed mood to the music and control groups. The music group (n = 31) received Chinese five-element music therapy, whereas the participants in the control group (n = 40) maintained their routine lifestyles with no music therapy. All of the participants were assessed using the Depression Mood Self-Report Inventory for Adolescence, an… Show more

“…Saliva samples were collected before music exposure and during weeks 1, 5, and 10 of music at 11 am.

“…Similarly, Nakayama et al [ 43 ] reported a lowering of salivary cortisol ( p = .03) in an effectiveness study of music therapy with 10 patients in hospice care. Chen et al [ 44 ] also reported a significant reduction in salivary cortisol levels, over time, as a result of Chinese five-element music therapy among 31 depressed nursing students randomly assigned to a music group. These studies suggest that the response to the relaxing and meaningful music therapy can be assessed by the decreasing cortisol levels.…”
