“…Articles were also excluded if the use of music described was prospective rather than retrospective 38,39 ; if they described an opportunity for medical students to design and submit creative works without discussion of musical artworks created by medical students [40][41][42][43] ; or if the use of music was incidental in the service of another artform such as theatre, 44,45 video, [46][47][48] vodcast 49 or identity text. 50 Finally, articles were excluded if they described musical activities with a cohort of medical students not directly related to general medical education, for example, qualitative explorations of musical experiences in which medical students have been participants, 51 studies testing a hypothesis about the effects of music with a cohort of medical students under experimental conditions, [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] Research orientation, 64 methodology and limitations were identified through an appraisal of research quality using JBI Critical Appraisal checklists, [65][66][67][68] with each study rated independently by two authors and discussed until agreement was reached by the group.…”

IntroductionWhile many have championed the value of music in medical education, research specific to how and why music has been offered in medical education is sparse and there have been few attempts to synthesise the literature.MethodsA Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) of 56 texts including published articles, correspondence, abstracts and one thesis published between 1977 and 2022 was undertaken to explore the evidence basis for offering music in medical education.ResultsA total of 52 music‐focused programmes/activities were described, encompassing both curricular and extra‐curricular, receptive and participatory music activities and a wide range of musical genres. Inductive analysis of data extracted from texts revealed a variety of rationales for the use of music in medical education, which could be grouped within seven interrelated themes: well‐being; supportive learning environment; affective engagement; teaching and learning; developing skills for clinical practice; humanism in medicine; and creative expression (identity).DiscussionThe results of this synthesis demonstrate that there remains a gap between what is claimed about the affordances of music and what has been explicitly addressed in medical education research. Despite a paucity of research in this area, the available data support that the affordances of music are ‘multiple’ and may not be well represented by linear models. Evidence that engagement with music is beneficial for medical students is strongest in relation to the affordances of music for well‐being, facilitating a supportive learning environment, affective engagement, memorisation and creative expression (identity). That engagement with music might enhance humanism, including developing skills for clinical practice, requires further investigation. Accounting for student agency and the ‘multiple’ affordances of music will ensure that future teaching and research are best positioned to benefit medical students' well‐being and personal and professional development.

Raga todi, an Indian classical music raga is emerging as a therapeutic approach in mental health and well being. This study aims to assess the relationship of raga todi and state anxiety at the time of novel coronavirus spread across the globe. 30 young female adults of age 20 to 28 years were randomly assigned to experimental group and control group of 15 participants each to which a pre and post test of State Anxiety test of STAI-A was administered. Results stated that state anxiety is negatively correlated to the listening of raga todi. Thus, listening to raga todi could be useful in reducing the state anxiety level provoked by a stressful life event like the lethal coronavirus pandemic.

Abstract: have non-trivial influence on the various neurological and psychological mechanisms underlying stress management. Considering the impact of this finding in selection of music clips for music therapy, further studies with larger sample size is warranted.
