This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Chinese five-element music therapy on nursing students with depressed mood. We randomly assigned 71 nursing students from Taiwan with depressed mood to the music and control groups. The music group (n = 31) received Chinese five-element music therapy, whereas the participants in the control group (n = 40) maintained their routine lifestyles with no music therapy. All of the participants were assessed using the Depression Mood Self-Report Inventory for Adolescence, and their salivary cortisol levels were measured. The study found that there was a significant reduction in depression between the pre- and posttherapy test scores and in salivary cortisol levels over time in the music group. After receiving the music therapy, the nursing students' depression levels were significantly reduced (P = 0.038) compared with the control group (P < 0.001). These results indicate that the Chinese five-element music therapy has the potential to reduce the level of depression in nursing students with depressed mood.
本研究旨在评估中医五行音乐疗法对情绪低落的护理专业学生的影响。我们将71名来自台湾且情绪低落的护理专业学生随机分为音乐组和对照组。音乐组（n = 31）接受中医五行音乐疗法，而对照组（n = 40）的参与者保持常规生活方式，不接受音乐疗法。所有参与者均使用青少年抑郁情绪自评量表进行评估，并测量其唾液皮质醇水平。研究发现，音乐组治疗前和治疗后的测试分数之间以及唾液皮质醇水平随时间均有显著降低。接受音乐疗法后，与对照组相比，护理专业学生的抑郁水平显著降低（P = 0.038）（对照组P < 0.001）。这些结果表明，中医五行音乐疗法有可能降低情绪低落的护理专业学生的抑郁水平。
