Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of five-element music combined with sandplay therapy in improving negative emotions and enhancing quality of life in patients with malignant tumors.Methods A to-tal of 112 malignant tumor patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criterias were enrolled and randomly di-vided into four groups by using random number table method:control group,five-element music group,sand-play therapy group,and combined therapy group,with 28 patients in every group.The control group received routine nursing and psychological care;the five-element music group received routine nursing,psychological care and five-element music therapy;the sandplay therapy group received routine nursing,psychological care,and sandplay therapy;the combined therapy group received routine nursing,psychological care,five-element music,and sandplay therapy.Interventions were conducted once a week for 6 weeks.Changes in self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),and quality of life core scale(QLQ-C30)scores were compared among the four groups.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in SAS,SDS,or QLQ-C30 subscale scores among the four groups(P>0.05).After treatment,SAS and SDS scores decreased,while QLQ-C30 subscale scores increased in all four groups(P<0.05).After treatment,inter-group comparisons showed significant differences in SAS,SDS,and QLQ-C30 subscale scores(P<0.05),with the combined therapy group showing the best efficacy.The SAS and SDS scores in the five-element music group,sandplay therapy group,and combined therapy group were lower than those in the control group,while QLQ-C30 subscale scores were higher(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between the five-element music group and sandplay therapy group in SAS,SDS,or QLQ-C30 subscale scores(P>0.05).The combined therapy group had significantly lower SAS and SDS scores and higher QLQ-C30 subscale scores than the five-element music group and sandplay therapy group(P<0.05).Conclusion Five-element music com-bined with sandplay therapy can significantly improve negative emotions and quality of life in patients with malignant tumors.
