BACKGROUND: Hemodialysis patients suffer from mental disorders such as anxiety and depression.One of the known nonpharmacological methods to eliminate these disorders is music therapy. Thepresent study aimed to investigate the effect of instrumental music on state depression and anxietyin hemodialysis patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a clinical trial. The population was hemodialysispatients in Hamedan in 2017 and 50 patients were selected and randomly divided into experimentaland control groups. The duration each time of the instrumental music intervention for the experimentalgroup was 3 weeks, 3 times a week for 20 min. Data were measured by beck depression inventoryand SpeilBerger State–Trait Anxiety Inventory‑Y1 before the intervention and immediately afterthe last intervention and analyzed using Yates correction, Chi‑square test, Mann–Whitney U‑test,independent t‑test, and Wilcoxon test.RESULTS: No significant difference between the intervention and control groups was observedbefore the study in terms of demographic variables (P > 0.05). In the intervention group, the meanand standard deviation of the depression score before the intervention was 8.99 ± 23.68 and afterthe intervention reached 7.54 ± 14.88, which shows that the variable was significant (P = 0.001);however, no significant difference was observed in the control group. In the intervention group, themean of state anxiety before the intervention was 10.05 ± 53.76 and after the intervention reached9.76 ± 42.48, which was statistically significant (P = 0.004), while no significant difference wasobserved in the control group.CONCLUSION: The results indicate the positive effect of instrumental music on reducing anxietyand depression in hemodialysis patients. It is recommended that this therapy be used as a nursingmethod to reduce state anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients.
