“…Notwithstanding, the challenges of this new working world have started to insist on these professionals to become able to meet the new demands presented (Gil-Monte, 2012). These demands reflect the professionals’ life, which wear them out both physically and psychically, and cause the appearance of some disorders related to the work environment, such as stress (Charu et al, 2020).…”

This study aimed at analyzing the influence of receptive organizational therapy on the levels of stress of nursing professionals in a public hospital. Concerning the methodology, the study has a quantitative approach and an explanatory nature and adopts quasi-experimental procedures. The research universe encompassed 74 nursing professionals. As a research tool, the study used the Lipp’s Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults. Primary results showed that, out of the 74 professionals, 20.3% ( n = 15) were classified as having no levels of stress. However, 79.7% ( n = 59) of the participants had some levels of stress. Out of these professionals, 71.6% ( n = 53) were in the second stage, known as resistance. Thirty days after the application of receptive musical therapy, the 74 professionals who took part in this experience had their levels of stress reevaluated and compared to the levels of stress from before the musical intervention with the use of the Wilcoxon test. The test results highlighted that the levels of stress during the resistance, near-exhaustion, and exhaustion stages were minimized. As a conclusion, therefore, receptive organizational musical therapy has meaningful effects on reducing stress and improving the work life quality of professionals.

“…However, it can be considered that music-based interventions were highly beneficial in healthcare settings, particularly for nurses working in the private hospital. Attention needs to be given to the articles that suggest music therapy as a preventative and health-promotive aspect/intervention for improving the quality of life of nurses and also reducing anxiety and depression that could arise due to stressful working conditions (Charu et al, 2020;Khatatbeh et al, 2022;Wu et al, 2011).…”

Stress and burnout are quite synonymous with the fast-paced work environment of nurses. The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the effect of music therapy on perceived stress and professional quality of life (burnout, secondary traumatic stress, compassion satisfaction) among them. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 41 nurses working in a private multi-speciality hospital, in Hyderabad, India. The hypotheses were tested using paired sample t-tests. Perceived stress was measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (Sheldon Cohen). Burnout, Secondary stress, and Compassion Satisfaction were measured by the Professional Quality of Life scale - ProQOL5. Nurses in the experimental group were given live group music therapy in the form of group drumming improvisation for 30 mins followed by directed imagery and music for relaxation for a duration of 15 mins. The script of the imagery was chosen to be generic and safe for everyone to evoke positive and pleasant experiences. The music used for music and imagery was live raga improvisation in the Raga Brindavani Sarang. The findings showed that perceived stress, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress significantly decreased in the experimental group, confirming the positive effect of music therapy on an organizational sample such as nurses. The current research suggests how music and music therapy can be used as a tool for enhancing and maintaining well-being at the workplace. Implications of this study can be extended to see the effects of music therapy with an increased number of sessions and on other organizational samples like doctors, other medical staff, and technicians. Although the study's findings reveal the positive impact of music therapy with nurses, it cannot be generalized to all nurses in India, since the results and sampling area is limited to the hospital where the study was conducted in Hyderabad, India
