“…Several studies indicate a connection between singing as a means of self-expression, regulation of emotions, and health and well-being [57–59]. Moreover, the availability of psychobiological methodology over the last decades such as the ambulatory assessment of humoral stress markers or functional imaging have confirmed that the experienced stress releasing effects of music have indeed a psychophysiological bases [60,61]. As Hou in his review elucidates, music-evoked emotions can modulate activities in both cortical and subcortical systems, and across cortical-subcortical networks [61].…”

Music as a possible health-promoting agent has attained increasing academic and scientific interest over the last decades. Nonetheless, possible connections between indigenous singing traditions and health beyond traditional ceremonial healing practices are still under-researched worldwide.The Sami, the indigenous people living in Northern Fennoscandia, have a distinct ancient vocal music tradition called “yoik” practiced from immemorial times. The Sami share a history of assimilation with many indigenous people. During this period of nearly 400 years, yoik alongside other cultural markers was under hard pressure and even banned at times.Compared to other indigenous people in the Arctic, Sami public health shows few significant unfavourable differences to the majority population. The potential role of yoik as a protective health and resilience factor within the Sami culture is the topic of this review. We suggest a two stage model for the health promoting effects of yoik through i) emotion regulation and stress relief on the level of the individual, and ii) as a socio-cultural resilience factors within the Sami population. This review is to be understood as theory-building review article striving for a scholarly review of the literature.

“…Relaxation, tension reduction, and revival of new energy appear to be integral features of adolescents' health-beneficial use of music (Saarikallio, McFerran, & Gold, 2015) and daily music listening for relaxation purposes in general has been shown to contribute to the maintenance of psychophysiological health (Kreutz, Murcia & Bongard, 2012;Linnemann, Ditzen, Strahler, Doerr & Nater, 2015;Västfjäll, Juslin & Hartig, 2012). Music has been shown to be effective in alleviating stress response (Knight & Rickard, 2001; Thoma et al, 2013), particularly in the age group of adolescents (Pelletier, 2004).…”

“…Results revealed that music listening was effective in reducing subjective stress levels (p<0.010). The most profound effects were found when "relaxation" was stated as the reason for music listening, with subsequent decreases in subjective stress levels (p<0.001) and lower cortisol concentrations (p<0.001) [8].…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was (1) to assess the level of stress among the parents of neonate admitted in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), (2) to determine the effectiveness of instrumental music on the level of stress among parents of the neonates admitted in NICU, and (3) to find out association between level of stress and sociodemographic variables. Methods:The research approach adopted for this study was an evaluative approach, and research design was a one-group pre-and post-test research design. The study was conducted in NICU, Krishna Hospital, Karad, Maharashtra, India. The sample consists of 60 parents of neonates admitted in NICU. A convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample. Parents were allowed to listen instrumental music two times a day for 5 days, and each session lasted for 30 minutes. The data were collected by structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results:The mean pretest stress score was 22.68, the mean post-test stress score was 12.86, and the mean difference of pretest and post-test stress score was 9.82. The reduction in the stress score was found statistically significant at the level of p<0.001. Conclusion:The findings reveal that the instrumental music is effective in reducing level of stress among parents of neonates admitted in NICU.
