AIM
The aim of this research was to explore the transferability and effectiveness of the English Silver Song Clubs model for older people in a different social and cultural context, that is, in the capital city of Italy, Rome.
METHODS
A single condition, pretest, post-test design was implemented. Participants completed the following two questionnaires: EuroQoL-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) and York Short Form (SF)-12.
RESULTS
After the singing experience, participants showed a decrease in their levels of anxiety and depression. An improvement was also found from baseline to follow-up in reported performance of usual activities. The English study showed a difference between the singing and non-singing groups at 3 and 6 months on mental health, and after 3 months on specific anxiety and depression measures. This study (Rome) shows similar findings with an improvement on specific anxiety and depression items.
CONCLUSION
Policy makers in different national contexts should consider social singing activities to promote the health and wellbeing of older adults as they are inexpensive to run and have been shown to be enjoyable and effective.
目的
本研究旨在探讨英语 Silver Song Clubs 模式在不同社会文化背景下（即意大利首都罗马）对老年人的可转移性和有效性。
方法
采用单条件、前测后测设计。参与者完成了以下两份问卷：EuroQoL-5 维度（EQ-5D）和 York 短式（SF）-12。
结果
唱歌体验后，参与者的焦虑和抑郁水平下降。与基线相比，随访时报告的日常活动表现也有所改善。英国的研究表明，在 3 个月和 6 个月时，唱歌组和非唱歌组在心理健康方面存在差异，在 3 个月时在特定的焦虑和抑郁测量方面存在差异。本研究（罗马）得出了类似的发现，在特定的焦虑和抑郁项目上有所改善。
结论
不同国家背景的政策制定者应该考虑开展社交唱歌活动，以促进老年人的健康和幸福，因为这些活动的运营成本低廉，而且被证明是令人愉快且有效的。
