“…However, cadaver education has some disadvantages (7,8). One of them is the fear and anxiety created by the cadaver (10). The cold and morgue air of anatomy laboratories further increases the feeling of intense stress in meeting a dead body.…”

“…Getting used to a dead body and a sense of death in students who have just taken the anatomy lesson can stress students at first. The same situation may be similar for instructors and postgraduate students (10,11,12). One of the recommended methods to reduce anxiety and stress caused by cadavers is education with music.…”

“…Cadaver tanks or pools should be stainless and attention should be paid to the toxic effects of the solutions that provide cadaver protection (9). Another negative disadvantage is the feeling of anxiety caused by seeing a cadaver (10). Unfortunately, the cold and morgue appearance of the anatomy laboratory creates an emotional sense of anxiety in the instructors and students.…”

“…One of the recommended methods to reduce anxiety and stress caused by cadavers is education with music. When the studies on this subject are examined, it is observed that education with music is very beneficial in overcoming cadaver anxiety (10). In this study, students' opinions were taken for the adaptation of the classical music played in the light background to overcome the cadaver fear and to adopt the cadaver in the sense of anxiety faced by medical students in the anatomy laboratory.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, arka planda klasik müzik çalmanın etkisi ile anatomi uygulama dersinde kadavralara yönelik korku ve kaygıyı azaltmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler:Araştırmaya 157 öğrenci katıldı. Sorulan sorular 5'li Likert testi ile oluşturuldu ve öğrenciler soruları mail yoluyla cevapladılar. Cevaplar sistem üzerinde analiz edildikten sonra istatistiksel hesaplamalar yapıldı.Bulgular: Birinci ve ikinci sınıf cevaplarının ki-kare testi istatistiğine göre, sadece birinci (p=0,017) ve dördüncü (p=0,015) sorularda anlamlı fark vardı (p<0,05). Dokuzuncu, onuncu ve on birinci sorulara katılım hem birinci hem de ikinci sınıflarda oldukça fazlaydı.Sonuç: Anatomi laboratuvarında klasik müzik çalmanın hafif arka planda etkisi ile literatürde çok az çalışma vardır. Bu çalışmada öğrenci yanıtlarının literatüre dahil edilmesi önemlidir, bu nedenle klasik müziğin anatomi laboratuvarındaki etkisinin kadavradan kaynaklanan stres ve korkuyu azaltacağı düşünülmektedir.

“…Music learning is a social expression form and is the culture value in a society, and music learning preference is the reflection of the imprints of social culture on individuals (Scheuerman, 2014). Some scholars carried out researches in music psychology, studied how the individuals' music behaviors relate to their social and cultural background, and emphasized on that the psychological research of music behaviors should take the social factors into account (Anyanwu, Nto, Agu et al, 2016). More and more researchers have found that a person's music learning preference is related to the social psychology, and it is inseparable from the social environment.…”

Music learning preference reflects the emotions, identity and cultural background of the learners. With the aid of social psychology, this paper explores the factors affecting music learning preference, and expounds the formation mechanism of endogenous preference, considering the diversity of social cultures. The research data were collected through a questionnaire survey on college students who are interested in music learning. The results show that music learning preference manifests self-identity and identity recognition; social background, gender, identity and status are all endogenous factors for music learning preference; music learning preference is related to subcultures like identity crisis, personality and fashion. This paper provides a guide on the application of psychological theories in music learning.

Anatomical dissection on cadavers can be a source of anxiety for medical students. Studies in other stressful settings have shown a reduction in anxiety when there is background music. The objective of this study was to determine if music can have an impact on student anxiety, student satisfaction, and student performance in dissection room. This cluster randomized interventional trial included 187 second‐year medical students. The intervention was standardized background music, selected based on the literature, with a tempo of between 60 and 80 bpm. Six balanced clusters were randomized (1:1) to music or no music during dissection sessions. The main assessment criterion was a validated self‐evaluation scale score for anxiety, the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Student satisfaction was measured using a visual analog scale and dissection performance was evaluated by an examination. The outcomes were analyzed with mixed models adjusted on group effect, chronic anxiety, and confounding factors. A significant (58%) relative decrease in acute anxiety, odds ratio 0.423 [0.160; 0.710] was found for the music intervention group. Music also had a positive impact on performance with students in the intervention group attaining higher grades than those in the control group (0.42/10 higher, P = 0.0016). The study also showed a nonsignificant increase in satisfaction with 0.37 extra points (P = 0.137) in the intervention group. Background music had a significant impact on anxiety in the dissection room and on technical and theoretical performance in the subsequent anatomy examination. This music intervention could be extended to other stressful work environments.
