Music therapy (MT) is a non-pharmacological treatment increasingly used to reduce stress and anxiety in hospitalized children affected by cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of MT on quality of life in children with cancer and determine its effect on cardiorespiratory rates.
We conducted a quasi-experimental study between 1 April and 31 August 2021 at Bechir Hamza children's Hospital in Tunis, including children treated for cancer. The child or parent completed the PedsQL Module Cancer French version 3.0 questionnaires before and after four weekly music therapy sessions. The child's respiratory and heart rates were measured before and after each session.
We included 20 children whose mean age was 7 ± 4.5 years. The median value of the total questionnaire score increased from 57 [46; 70] to 72 [67; 85] ( < 10) noting a significant reduction in pain ( = 0.02), nausea ( = 0.009), and anxiety related to medical procedures ( = 0.009) and worry about the future ( = 0.005). We highlighted a significant decrease in respiratory and heart rate after MT ( < 0.05).
MT has positive impact on quality of life in children with cancer and reduces stress by lowering their cardiorespiratory rates.
音乐疗法（MT）是一种越来越多地用于减轻患癌症住院儿童压力和焦虑的非药物治疗方法。本研究的目的是评估音乐疗法对癌症患儿生活质量的影响，并确定其对心肺率的影响。
2021年4月1日至8月31日，我们在突尼斯的贝希尔·哈姆扎儿童医院进行了一项准实验研究，研究对象为接受癌症治疗的儿童。在每周进行四次音乐治疗课程前后，儿童或家长填写了儿童生活质量量表癌症模块法语版3.0问卷。在每次课程前后测量儿童的呼吸和心率。
我们纳入了20名平均年龄为7±4.5岁的儿童。问卷总分的中位数从57[46；70]增加到72[67；85]（<0.01），疼痛（=0.02）、恶心（=0.009）、与医疗程序相关的焦虑（=0.009）和对未来的担忧（=0.005）显著降低。我们发现音乐治疗后呼吸和心率显著下降（<0.05）。
音乐疗法对癌症患儿的生活质量有积极影响，并通过降低心肺率减轻压力。
