Area of Science:

  • Mental Health
  • Psychiatry
  • Creative Arts Therapies

Background:

  • Severe mental illness (SMI) presents significant challenges to an individual's quality of life (QoL).
  • Innovative therapeutic approaches are needed to support the holistic well-being of individuals with SMI.
  • Music therapy offers a unique, non-pharmacological intervention for mental health support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of group music therapy (GMT) on QoL, social enrichment, self-esteem, and spirituality in adults with SMI.
  • To explore participants' experiences and perceptions of a 13-week GMT intervention.
  • To assess the effectiveness of GMT compared to standard care (SC).

Main Methods:

  • A 13-week intervention involving singing familiar songs and composing original music.
  • Randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with crossover, comparing GMT and SC.
  • Qualitative data collection through focus group interviews and song lyric analysis.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in QoL and spirituality were observed in the GMT group compared to SC.
  • Per-protocol analysis indicated greater benefits with increased session attendance.
  • Qualitative findings revealed positive participant experiences, including enhanced self-esteem and appreciation for the therapeutic environment.

Conclusions:

  • Group music therapy demonstrates potential as an effective intervention for enhancing QoL and spirituality in individuals with SMI.
  • The intervention was perceived positively by participants, suggesting feasibility and value.
  • Further research into optimizing music therapy protocols for severe mental illness is warranted.
