This study explores the feasibility and effects of music therapy on anticipatory nausea and vomiting, stress, pain and quality of life in adolescents undergoing chemotherapy.
This is a single group, quasi-experimental study using pre/post-test design. Participants received four individual sessions of music therapy (MT), led by a certified music therapist. State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory Y-1, and a 0-4 Likert scale for pain, nausea and vomiting were recorded. Heart rate variability (LF/HF) was collected during sessions. PedsQL was collected before and at the end of the trial. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants.
A significant reduction in anxiety, nausea and vomiting, both pre-post single sessions and between different sessions, was observed. A significant increase in LF/HF and PedsQL scores was observed. Relevant themes also emerged from interviews.
Results support the feasibility of introducing music therapy with adolescents undergoing chemotherapy. Perceived stress and psychological/physical wellbeing were improved in participants.
本研究探讨了音乐疗法对接受化疗的青少年预期性恶心和呕吐、压力、疼痛和生活质量的可行性和效果。
这是一项采用前后测试设计的单组准实验研究。参与者接受了由认证音乐治疗师进行的四次个体音乐治疗（MT）。使用状态特质焦虑量表 Y-1 和 0-4 级李克特量表记录疼痛、恶心和呕吐。在治疗过程中收集心率变异性（LF/HF）。在试验前和结束时收集 PedsQL。对参与者进行了半结构化访谈。
单次治疗前后和不同治疗期间均观察到焦虑、恶心和呕吐显著减少，LF/HF 和 PedsQL 评分显著增加。访谈中也出现了相关主题。
研究结果支持向接受化疗的青少年引入音乐疗法的可行性。参与者的感知压力和心理/身体健康状况得到改善。
