The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of music therapy on the spirituality of persons in an in-patient hospice unit as measured by self-report. Participants (N = 10) were used as their own control in an ABAB design format. Session A consisted of approximately 30 minutes of music therapy, after which the patient/subject responded to a spiritual well-being questionnaire; Session B consisted of approximately 30 minutes of a nonmusic visit, after which the patient/subject responded to a spiritual well-being questionnaire. The spiritual well-being questionnaire used in this study is an 18-item, religiously nonspecific, self-report questionnaire using a Likert Scale of 6 degrees adapted from the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (Ellison & Paloutzian, 1982). All participants gave written consent prior to participation in the study. Data results were graphically and statistically analyzed after four visits and four spiritual well-being questionnaires were completed for each subject. Results indicate a statistically significant increase in spiritual well-being scores on music days.
本研究的目的是通过自我报告来确定音乐疗法对住院临终关怀病房患者精神状态的影响。采用ABAB设计形式，让参与者（N = 10）自身作为对照。A阶段包括约30分钟的音乐疗法，之后患者/受试者需对一份精神健康问卷做出回应；B阶段包括约30分钟的非音乐探访，之后患者/受试者同样要对一份精神健康问卷做出回应。本研究中使用的精神健康问卷是一份包含18个项目、无宗教特定指向的自我报告问卷，采用从精神健康量表（埃里森和帕洛齐安，1982年）改编而来的6级李克特量表。所有参与者在参与研究前均签署了书面同意书。在为每个受试者完成四次探访和四份精神健康问卷后，对数据结果进行了图表分析和统计分析。结果表明，在进行音乐疗法的日子里，精神健康得分有统计学意义的显著提高。
