Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the effects that music therapy by self-selected music listening has on the affect and stress relief in adult patients who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer by pain level. Methods: Participants were 20 terminally ill cancer patients who were over 18 years old and were admitted to the hospice and palliative care unit of a local hospital. At the beginning of each session, participants selected music of their choice. Each participant had a total of six 30-minute music listening sessions. Participants were grouped into two according to their self-rated perceived pain scores on the visual analogue scale and numeric rated score: 5 and above and less than 5. Each participant completed a questionnaire on their affect state before and after each session and a questionnaire on their stress level before the first session and after the last session. Further analysis was performed to compare differences between the two groups according to pain level. Results: There were significant differences in patients' affect before and after each session (P<0.001) and stress level before and after the therapy (P=0.001). Conclusion: In this study, self-selected music listening had positive effects on terminal cancer patients' affect and stress regardless of perceived pain level. Therefore, self-selected music listening can be used as an appropriate intervention to improve affect and reduce stress in terminal cancer patients in the hospice and palliative care unit.

목적: 이 연구는 선호 음악 감상이 말기암환자의 통증 정도에 따른 정서 및 스트레스에 미치는 효과를 파악하고자 함이다. 방법: 이 연구에 참여한 대상자는 경상북도 선린병원의 호스피스 완화의료 병동에 입원한 18세 이상의 말기암환자 20명이었으며, 대상자들에게 자신이 선호하는 음악을 선택하도록 하여 각 회기 당 30분씩 총 6회 제공하였으며, 실험 전후, 사전사후 조사를 하였다. 연구 도구로는 통증 자각 척도 중 숫자 통증 등급(Numerical rating scale, NRS), 정서상태 측정 설문지, 스트레스 설문지를 사용하였다. 통증인식 수준에 따른 집단 간 차이를 비교하기 위해 실험 전 자가 통증 척도에 따라 두 집단(통증 점수가 5점 이하인 집단과 통증 점수가 6점 이상인 집단)으로 나눈 후, 주 2회로 매 1회 당 30분씩 총 6회 실험하였다. 매 회기 사전사후 정서 변화를 측정하였고, 1회기 전과 6회 후 스트레스를 측정하였다. 정서 변화와 스트레스는 대응 2-표본 비모수 통계 처리하였고, 추가 분석으로 정서 변화 검사에서 1회기 전과 매회기 후를 반복 측정 분산 분석으로 처리하였다. 결과: 정서상태 변화를 위한 사전사후 검증에서 유의한 차이가 나타났고(P<0.001), 스트레스도 감소된 것으로 나타났다(P=0.001). 두 집단은 통증 인식 수준이 달랐지만 음악치료중재를 통해 모든 대상자들은 정서상태 변화와 스트레스 감소 효과를 나타냈다. 결론: 본 연구 결과들은 선호 음악 감상이 호스피스 완화의료 병동에 입원한 말기암환자들의 통증인식 정도 차이에도 불구하고 두 집단 모두에게 정서와 스트레스를 긍정적으로 전환하기 위한 효과적이고 적절한 중재임을 보여준다.
