“…The statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of symptoms other than depression and shortness of breath suggests that listening to music effectively reduces the severity of chemotherapy symptoms. Similar studies on cancer patients concluded that improvements in pain (Huang et al, 2010;Jourt-Pineau et al, 2013;Lee, Song, & Kim, 2015), exhaustion (Chuang, Han, Li, & Young, 2010;Ferrer, 2005;Tsai et al, 2014), nausea (Silva et al, 2014), anxiety (Bulfone, Quattrin, Zanotti, Regattin, & Brusaferro, 2009;Chen, Wang, Shih, & Wu, 2013;Romito, Lagattolla, Costanzo, Giotta, & Mattioli, 2013), lethargy (Lafçı, 2009), and not feeling well (Barrera, Rykov, & Doyle, 2002;Burns, Harbuz, Hucklebridg, & Bunt, 2001) occur as a result of listening to music. However, no research has definitively indicated whether such intervention influences depression and shortness of breath.…”
