Summary

Aim: It has been determined that there are limited studies in our country where music is used as a nursing intervention and the effects of music therapy on the psychological symptoms and comfort levels of individuals with chronic diseases are evaluated. This study will be conducted to determine the effects of music therapy applied to hospitalized individuals with chronic diseases on hospital anxiety, depression and comfort levels.

The research will be conducted at the Urology Department of Merzifon Kara Mustafa Paşa State Hospital between September 2024 and May 2025. The research is a randomized controlled experimental type. The sample of the research will consist of 60 participants, 30 in the music therapy group and 30 in the control group, who are 18 years of age and older and diagnosed with chronic diseases.

Data in the research: The research data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and General Comfort Scale Short Form.

In this study, music therapy will be performed by the researchers for 4 days (the average length of stay of inpatients is 4 days), starting from the first day the participants start their inpatient treatment in the hospital. The data collection forms will be applied twice in total, at the first interview (pre-test) and on the morning of the 5th day (post-test).
