Individuals receiving inpatient psychiatric care (n = 32) were randomized to receive either brief music therapy or group therapy that constitutes the current standard of care (SOC), and completed measures of depression, mood, quality of life (QOL), and hope pre- and post-intervention. Group dynamics were evaluated by the therapists. Results indicate that significantly more patients in the music therapy group showed an increase in QOL than those in the SOC group. Regarding group dynamics, the music groups scored significantly higher on conflict and significantly lower on avoidance. Results of this study suggest that group music therapy in inpatient psychiatric settings may be as effective as SOC groups, more effective at impacting QOL, and more effective for particular diagnostic populations. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of music therapy in this setting.
接受住院精神科护理的个体（n = 32）被随机分为两组，一组接受简短音乐疗法，另一组接受构成当前护理标准（SOC）的团体疗法，并在干预前后完成抑郁、情绪、生活质量（QOL）和希望的测量。治疗师对团体动力进行了评估。结果表明，音乐治疗组中生活质量提高的患者显著多于标准护理组。关于团体动力，音乐组在冲突方面得分显著更高，在回避方面得分显著更低。本研究结果表明，住院精神科环境中的团体音乐疗法可能与标准护理组一样有效，在影响生活质量方面更有效，对特定诊断人群更有效。需要进一步研究以充分了解音乐疗法在这种环境中的影响。
