Abstract
A Study was conducted to determine the Effectiveness of Music Therapy on Quality of Sleep among elderly residing at selected old age homes, Salem. The design adopted was pre experimental (one group pre and post test) research design. 60 samples were drawn from Henry old age home and Saradha old age home through non probability convenience sampling technique. The level of quality of sleep was assessed by using a Modified Pittsburgh Quality of sleep index scale. Music therapy was implemented for the participants twice daily for 21 consecutive days. Post test was done on 7th, 14th, and 22th day of intervention. The data gathered were analysed by descriptive and inferential statistical method. The findings revealed that during pretest 3 (5%) of them had good quality of sleep, 29 (48.33%) of them had fair quality of sleep and 28 (46.67%) of them had poor quality of sleep, whereas in posttest I 6 (10%) of them had good quality of sleep, 39 (65%) of them had fair quality of sleep and 15 (25%) of them had poor quality of sleep. In posttest II 14 (23.33%) of them had good quality of sleep, 36 (60%) of them had fair quality of sleep and 10 (16.67%) of them had poor quality of sleep. In posttest III 27 (45%) of them had good quality of sleep, 25 (41.67%) of them had fair quality of sleep and 8 (13.33%) of them had poor quality of sleep. The pre test (O1) mean score was 28.30 + 4.89 and the average post test mean score was 22.92 + 5.91. The calculated t value 12.34 at p < 0.05 level was significantly higher than the table value 1.96 at p < 0.05 level which shows that music therapy was effective in improving the quality of sleep. Hence H1 was retained. There was significant association between the quality of sleep among elderly with their selected demographic variables like marital status (χ²=12.56), educational status (χ²=21.38), and duration of stay (χ² = 14.39). Hence, H2 was retained for the above mentioned demographic variables. Music therapy is a non pharmacological and less expensive method of relaxation therapy, which promotes the mind body interaction and ultimately improves the quality of sleep.
