Effects of Music Therapy on Anxiety and Distress Levels During Radionuclide Treatment in Prostate Cancer Patients

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This interventional study aimed to evaluate the effects of music therapy on anxiety and distress levels in patients with prostate cancer undergoing radionuclide therapy. A total of 60 patients who met the eligibility criteria were included in the study. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Patients in the intervention group listened to music through headphones during the radionuclide treatment session, while patients in the control group received standard care without a music intervention. Music selections included various types of non-verbal music such as classical music, Turkish classical music, and other instrumental genres. Participants were allowed to select their preferred music from a predefined list. Psychological distress and anxiety levels were assessed using the Distress Thermometer and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Measurements were obtained before the treatment session and again after completion of the radionuclide therapy. The study evaluated whether listening to music during treatment could reduce anxiety and distress levels in patients receiving radionuclide therapy for prostate cancer.
