Summary

About one-third of women experience no or mild symptoms during their menopausal life, while another third experience moderate symptoms, while the remaining one-third may experience severe symptoms.

It is stated that hormone therapy, one of the pharmacological methods, is accepted as an effective and standard method in the management of menopausal symptoms, including sleep disorders and depression, despite its side effects. However, due to the health risks associated with hormone therapy, it is stated that many women do not want to use this treatment option and turn to complementary and alternative medicine to alleviate menopausal symptoms. It is stated that physical, mental and psychological problems of women can be treated with non-pharmacological methods such as relaxation, breathing exercises, touch therapy, and music therapy as a complementary and alternative medicine approach in the world and in Turkey.

It is stated that the healing effect of music has been known among societies since ancient times. Today, with technological developments, it is stated that music does not only rest the soul, but also has a cognitively stimulating effect and a motivating effect in cases where verbal communication cannot be performed. When the national and international literature is examined, there are many studies on non-pharmacological methods for menopausal symptoms, while the effect of music therapy on depression in menopausal women was examined in only one study in Turkey. However, no study was found in which the music therapy method was used for both depression and sleep quality in menopausal women.

For this reason, the aim of the study was to determine the effect of music therapy, which is a non-pharmacological method, on sleep quality and depression in menopausal women.
