Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to test the effects of Music Breathing (MB) in promoting a sense of coherence among young people.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the effect of a MB programme on personal resources (i.e., SOC, coping self-efficacy, emotion regulation and mindfulness) compared with the control condition in young people?
* What is the effect of a MB programme on stress reduction (i.e., depression, anxiety and stress, and salivary cortisol levels) compared with the control condition in young people? • • What is the effect of a MB programme on mental well-being compared with the control condition in young people?
* What is the relationship between SOC, coping self-efficacy, emotion regulation and mindfulness?

Participants will receive a MB programme in 6 weekly sessions and weekly home practice. The programme includes:

* meditative breathing;
* breathing with music listening;
* drawing a mental image of the breathing practice; and
* sharing and processing of the experience

Conditions

  • Sense of Coherence

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Music Breathing

The MB programme consists of four stages: 1. Silent breathing for grounding (SB), 2. Music breathing for grounding (MBG), 3. Music breathing for modulation (MM), 4. Music breathing for working (MW). After completing the silent breathing and music breathing practices, the participants will draw pictures of their body images of breathing space and centre. The form of the imagined breathing space expressed in the drawing and the meaning and content of the experience will be explored through a process facilitated by the therapist. The therapist's understanding of the participants' difficulties and progress will guide the next step, particularly the selection of music for the next sessions. The whole session takes about 2 hours. Weekly home practice is advised.

BEHAVIORAL

Control condition

The control condition consists of 30-min mental health education programme with topics on stress management, music playing, and breathing exercise provided in the first and 6th weeks. A take-home kit which consists of the fact sheet information of the health talk and the video link of the breathing exercise and musical pieces will be provided to the participants after the first meeting. They are instructed to practice the breathing exercise and listening to the musical pieces at home.
