Summary

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of music therapy on hope, quality of life, and social functioning in individuals with Severe Mental Disorder in the community.

The main research questions were:

Can music therapy increase the level of hope in individuals with Severe Mental Disorder? Can music therapy improve the quality of life of individuals with Severe Mental Disorder? Can music therapy enhance the social functioning of individuals with Severe Mental Disorder?

Participants were users of a Community Mental Health Care Team called the Assertive Community Treatment Team.

A total of 12 music therapy sessions were conducted, each lasting 45-60 minutes. Participants selected the songs or sounds they wanted to listen to based on the session theme, followed by a dialogue between the participant and the nurse.

Passive music therapy in an individual format

The intervention was administered individually, and the authors based it on a review of the scientific literature on studies that evaluated the main proposed variables: quality of life, social functioning, and hope. In general, participants selected the music they wished to listen to for each session, following the nurse's guidance, and a dialogue was then established between the participant and the nurse. The intervention lasted approximately 20 weeks, with a weekly or biweekly frequency. The intervention consisted of 12 sessions, each lasting 45-60 minutes.
