Özet
Introduction center dot Music is widely used to reduce anxiety, and the beneficial effects of music on anxiety are well established. Maqams represent a system of melodic modes used in traditional Turkish music. Different maqams may have different effects on anxiety. Objective center dot The current study intended to investigate the effects of Hicaz and Huseyni maqams on anxiety and to evaluate whether a difference in effects exists. Design center dot The research team performed a preliminary, randomized controlled trial. Setting center dot The study took place in the Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Music, Faculty of Fine Arts, at Izmir Democracy University in Izmir, Turkey. Participants center dot The participants were 87 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 27, who were students studying at the university. Intervention center dot The participants were randomly divided into three groups, with 29 participants in each group. One intervention group listened to the music in the Hicaz maqam-the Hicaz group-and the second listed to the music in the Huseyni maqam-the Huseyni group-for 30 minutes a day for a week. The control group received no intervention. Outcome Measures center dot The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to measure participants' level of anxiety. Results center dot No significant differences existed between the three groups in the BAI scores at baseline (P =.97). For the Hicaz and Huseyni groups, a significant decrease was found in the mean BAI scores between baseline and postintervention (P <.001), but no statistically significant difference was found for the control group (P =.29). No statistically significant difference in the BAI scores existed postintervention between the Hicaz and the Huseyni groups (P =.66) or between the Hicaz group and the control group (P =.06), but a statistically significant difference did exist between the Huseyni and the control groups (P =.01). Conclusions center dot Listening to music is an effective auxiliary method for reducing anxiety. The type of music to which an individual listens can affect this benefit, with some types having a greater positive effect than others.
