Effect of Music Therapy on Sleep Quality in Older Persons
Keywords:
sleep quality, music therapy, older adultsAbstract
Objective: To examine how music therapy could beneft older adults’ sleep quality.
Design: Quasi-experimental research.
Procedure: Fifty-two participants were recruited according to the inclusion criteria
and equally assigned to the experimental and control groups (26 persons in each group).
The participants were older adults with poor sleep quality, living in Phitsanulok City’s
municipal area. The experimental group received one music therapy session (30-45
minutes) per day before bedtime, at least three days a week, for four consecutive weeks.
The control group, on the other hand, did not receive any music therapy. The instrument
used for assessing sleep quality was the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data
were analysed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and paired t-test.
Results: After receiving music therapy, the experimental group’s sleep quality
was signifcantly better that that of the control group (p < .001). In addition, the
experimental group displayed signifcantly higher sleep quality than before they received
music therapy (p < .001).
Recommendations: The fndings of this study indicate that music therapy can
improve sleep quality among older adults.
