Effect of Music Therapy Combined with Emotional Valence on Relieving Depression in College Students

Abstract

To investigate intervention effect of music therapy combined with emotional valence on relieving depression in college students. The clinical data of 102 college students with depression who were admitted to our hospital (October 2017-October 2018) were retrospectively analyzed, and the students were randomly split into research group (n=51) and reference group (n=51). The reference group was intervened by music therapy, while the research group was intervened by emotional valence combined with music therapy. The intervention effect was compared between two groups.After intervention, SAS scores in both groups were obviously lower (P < 0.001), and SAS scores in research group were obviously lower compared with reference group (P < 0.001). After intervention, GQOLI-74 scores in both groups were obviously higher (P < 0.001), and GQOLI-74 scores in research group were obviously higher compared with reference group (P < 0.001). After intervention, SDSS scores in both groups were obviously lower (P < 0.001), and SDSS scores in research group were obviously lower compared with reference group (P < 0.001). After intervention, SES scores in both groups were obviously higher (P < 0.001), and SES scores in research group were obviously higher compared with reference group (P < 0.001). After intervention, PSQI scores in both groups were obviously lower (P < 0.0), and PSQI scores in research group were obviously lower compared with reference group (P < 0.001). After intervention, QSA scores in both groups were obviously higher (P < 0.001), and QSA scores in research group were obviously higher compared with reference group (P < 0.001). The introduction of music therapy combined with emotional valence into the treatment of depressive disorders in college students can effectively alleviate the anxiety, improve life quality and sleep, increase self-esteem levels, reflecting obvious curative effects, which is worthy of popularization and application.
