简要总结
Interventional Trial (Randomized Experimental Design)
Study Goal:
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured music therapy program in improving mental health (depression, anxiety, stress) and self-efficacy among college students.
Key Questions the Study Aims to Answer:
Does music therapy significantly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in college students?
Does music therapy significantly enhance self-efficacy in college students?
How do improvements in mental health relate to changes in self-efficacy?
Study Design:
Researchers will compare outcomes between two groups:
Experimental Group: Receives a 2-week daily music therapy intervention (1 hour per session) in a controlled environment.
Control Group: Does not receive any music therapy intervention during the study period.
Participant Activities:
Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments using validated scales:
Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure mental health status.
Self-Efficacy Scale to evaluate confidence in personal capabilities.
Experimental group participants will:
Engage in daily music therapy sessions featuring rhythmically smooth and soothing music selected to promote relaxation.
Experience the intervention in a quiet, controlled environment.
Control group participants will:
Continue their regular routines without any therapeutic intervention.
All participants will submit responses via electronic questionnaires (Wenjuanxing platform) to ensure efficient and accurate data collection.
Duration:
Intervention Period: 2 weeks.
Data Collection: Pre-intervention baseline assessment, immediate post-intervention assessment.

The intervention involves listening to rhythmically smooth, soothing music in a controlled, quiet environment. Music selection is based on evidence supporting its efficacy in reducing stress and enhancing relaxation.
Intervention Type: Behavioral (Music Therapy).

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scores
时间窗: 2 weeks
The assessment was conducted using the simplified version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale. The full scale consists of 21 items, with each of the three subscales (depression, anxiety and stress) containing 7 items. All items are scored on a 4-point scale ranging from "0" (not applicable) to "3" (always applicable). The scores of each subscale are multiplied by 2 to obtain the score of that subscale. The higher the score, the more likely it is to indicate the presence of such emotions.
