Overview

Brief Summary

This study is examining the effect of listening to music on personal variables such as stress, anxiety, and academic performance. Previous research has shown that listening to music can help in reducing the effects of anxiety and stress.

Detailed Description

Students will be divided and randomized into two recording groups: 1.) Music Intervention Group, 2.) Non-Music Control Group. The music intervention group will receive a 15-minute music intervention and variables such as heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, and academic performance will be measured. The non-music control group will not receive the intervention; however, the same variables will be measured.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

Time Frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 2 (post intervention, approximately 30 minutes from baseline) and study end (approximately 45 minutes from baseline)

Change in score on the STAI survey, a 20 item survey with each item rated on a 4 point scale from "almost never" to "almost always. Possible range of scores are from 20-80 with a higher score indicating greater anxiety.

Blood Pressure Measurement

Time Frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 2 (post intervention, approximately 30 minutes from baseline) and study end (approximately 45 minutes from baseline)

Change in Blood pressure will be measured using a smartwatch. Only MAP reported: the average arterial pressure throughout one cardiac cycle, systole, and diastole Time 1 Time 2 Time 3

Academic Performance

Time Frame: Baseline to study end (approximately 45 minutes from baseline)

Measuring the Skills Competency Recording Performance (Pass/Fail basis)

Heart Rate Measurement

Time Frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), Time 2 (post intervention, approximately 30 minutes from baseline) and study end (approximately 45 minutes from baseline)

Heart rate will be measured using a smartwatch Time 1 (pre-intervention) Time 2 (post-intervention) Time 3 (post-skill)
