The Effects of Exercise and Music Combination on Drug Cravings, Depression and Self-Efficacy Among Drug Addicts

Summary

This study focuses on the rehabilitation of drug addicts by combining exercise and music, to find out whether exercise and exercise combined with music of different rhythms will have an improvement for drug addicts.

1. What are the Chinese translated versions of the Basic Depression Questionnaire (CBD), the Mann Craving Scale (MaCS), the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (QIDS SR-16), and the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES)?
2. Based on confirmatory factor analysis, are the Chinese versions of the CBD, MaCS, QIDS SR-16, and NGSES valid and reliable?
3. Is the concurrent validity of the translated versions of the CBD and MaCS supported when compared to the Chinese versions of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (QIDS SR-16) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), respectively?
4. Which exercise programs, fast-paced music, and slow-paced music are suitable for drug addicts?
5. is there an effect of exercise and music therapy on drug craving, depression, and self-efficacy in drug addicts (time, group, and interaction)? The researchers divided the participants into four groups: a control group; an exercise group; an exercise combined with a tempo group; and an exercise combined with a slow tempo group.

* Scientific physical activity at a fixed time each week for 6 months
* Conducted questionnaires and addiction level tests between each month
* Record their emotional status and addiction level.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sports group

The intervention groups in the experiment comprised three main categories: an exercise-only group, an exercise-combined-with-fast-paced-music group, and an exercise-combined-with-slow-music group. Participants engaged in activities mandated by the compulsory isolation drug rehabilitation centre, while researchers administered three distinct treatment protocols to the subjects.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise combined with fast-paced music group

Participate in the standard activities required at the compulsory isolation drug rehabilitation centre, whilst researchers will supplement the treatment regimen for subjects with exercise combined with fast-paced music.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise combined with slow-tempo music group

Participants will engage in standard activities required at the compulsory isolation drug rehabilitation centre, whilst researchers will supplement the treatment regimen with exercise combined with slow-tempo music.
