The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest/posttest and a control group. The study sample comprised 56 seniors who resided in a nursing home. The study data were collected using the "Mini-Mental State Examination," "Identification Form," "General Comfort Questionnaire," and "Beck Anxiety Inventory." While the mean scores obtained from the General Comfort Questionnaire by the participants in the experimental group demonstrated significant differences (p < 0.05), those obtained by the participants in the control group did not (p > 0.05). The mean scores obtained from the Beck Anxiety Inventory by the participants in the experimental group after a 3-week music intervention were significantly higher than their pre-study scores (p < 0.05); however, no significant increase was observed in the control group (p < 0.05).It was determined that music reduced anxiety experienced by the older adults since it improved their comfort.
本研究采用随机对照实验设计，包括前测-后测和对照组。研究样本包括 56 名居住在养老院的老年人。研究数据通过“简易精神状态检查”、“识别表”、“一般舒适度问卷”和“贝克焦虑量表”收集。实验组参与者的一般舒适度问卷的平均得分显示出显著差异（p<0.05），而对照组参与者的得分则没有显著差异（p>0.05）。实验组参与者在接受为期 3 周的音乐干预后，贝克焦虑量表的平均得分显著高于干预前的得分（p<0.05）；然而，对照组的得分没有显著增加（p<0.05）。这表明音乐可以减轻老年人的焦虑，因为它提高了他们的舒适度。
