Abstract
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop a drum club activities program for soldiers and to explore the effects of the program on the mental health of soldiers. Methods: This study used one group pretest-posttest design. A drum club activities program for soldiers was offered for 12 weeks with each session of 2 hours. A total of 33 participants were recruited but eighteen participants who did not participate in sessions of the program more than 3 times were dropped out of the study. Finally, data from 15 participants were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. Mental health status (stress, anxiety and aggression) was measured by Vibraimage technology. Vibraimage technology is a useful and objective method to identify the human psychophysiological state by analyzing the movement of various frequencies and amplitudes of head motion and face image using camera. Results: There is statistically significant difference in anxiety (Z=-3.12, p<.001) after implementation of the program. However, there was no statistically significant difference in stress and aggression. Conclusion: The results indicate that the drum club activities program was effective in decreasing anxiety in soldiers. The drum club activities program can be considered as a possible nursing intervention strategy to reduce anxiety for soldiers.
