The Music therapy was applied for 30~40mins three times a week, for 4 weeks(total 12 times) to the experimental group. Surveys were done to compare on the pre-post test states of anxiety, depression, and boredom between experimental group and control group. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/Win 18.0 program.
Results: There were significant differences in anxiety(t=-2.54, p=.007) and depression(t=-2.92, p=.003) between two groups. there was also a significant decrease in the scores of boredom( t=-6.45, p=.001) in the experimental group compared to the control group.
