Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Study Goal:
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured music therapy program in improving mental health (depression, anxiety, stress) and self-efficacy among college students.
Key Questions the Study Aims to Answer:
Does music therapy significantly reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in college students?
Does music therapy significantly enhance self-efficacy in college students?
How do improvements in mental health relate to changes in self-efficacy?
Study Design:
Researchers will compare outcomes between two groups:
Experimental Group: Receives a 2-week daily music therapy intervention (1 hour per session) in a controlled environment.
Control Group: Does not receive any music therapy intervention during the study period.
Participant Activities:
Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments using validated scales:
Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure mental health status.
Self-Efficacy Scale to evaluate confidence in personal capabilities.
Experimental group participants will:
Engage in daily music therapy sessions featuring rhythmically smooth and soothing music selected to promote relaxation.
Experience the intervention in a quiet, controlled environment.
Control group participants will:
Continue their regular routines without any therapeutic intervention.
All participants will submit responses via electronic questionnaires (Wenjuanxing platform) to ensure efficient and accurate data collection.
Duration:
Intervention Period: 2 weeks.
Data Collection: Pre-intervention baseline assessment, immediate post-intervention assessment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Description: Participants in this group do not receive any music therapy intervention during the study period. They continue their regular academic and daily routines.
Intervention Type: No intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
Music Therapy Intervention Group
Description: Participants in this group receive a daily 1-hour music therapy session for 2 weeks. The intervention involves listening to rhythmically smooth, soothing music in a controlled, quiet environment. Music selection is based on evidence supporting its efficacy in reducing stress and enhancing relaxation.
Intervention Type: Behavioral (Music Therapy).
Structured Music Therapy Program
Description:
Content: Participants engage in passive music therapy sessions where they listen to pre-selected music with smooth rhythms and harmonies (e.g., classical, ambient, or instrumental tracks). The music is chosen to align with evidence-based criteria for promoting relaxation and emotional regulation.
Frequency: Daily (1 session/day).
Duration: 1 hour per session, for a total of 14 sessions over 2 weeks.
Setting: Conducted in a quiet, controlled environment to minimize external distractions.
Goal: To reduce symptoms of psychological distress (depression, anxiety, stress) and enhance self-efficacy through auditory stimulation and emotional engagement.
