ABSTRACT
Sound and music therapy has been used to cope with changes during this period of life. This study was conducted to determine and compare the effect of two types of therapeutic interventions. It aimed to compare the efficiency of sound therapy (passive listening), and active music therapy, for emotional state improvement in teenagers. A prospective, comparative, qualitative randomized-controlled study was carried out between September 2022 and December 2022. The study sample consisted of 28 teenagers, enrolled in public secondary education (10 in the sound group, 8 in the active music therapy group and 10 in the control group). Sound was played by the researcher to the subjects in the intervention group in a total of 12 sessions of 20 minutes, for eight weeks. Group active music therapy sessions were conducted for the music therapy group, for the same number of sessions and time duration. The data were collected using an information form and scored against the subject's scale. The posttest scores of the teenagers in the music group were higher than those in the sound group, without a statistically significant difference between the groups (P > 0.05). Comparison of the post-test scores of the participants in the music and control groups revealed a significant decrease in the aggression scores among the members in the music group (P = 0.035). Comparison of the pretest and posttest differences between the participants showed a statistically significant decrease in the aggression/ verbal violence and sadness scores among the teenagers in the music group after the intervention.
