The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of Sufi music intervention for adults with mild to moderate levels of depression and anxiety, attending Turkish community centres in England. This was a pilot randomised controlled trial of a 4-week Sufi makam music intervention with 60 participants conducted in two Turkish community centres in the UK with assessments at baseline, mid-intervention (2 weeks), post intervention (4 weeks) and at 2 weeks follow-up. The recruitment and retention rates in the intervention arm during the four weeks were 94.5% and 93.3%, respectively. The intervention was acceptable for most of the participants. According to analysis of clinical outcomes, Sufi music intervention was not associated with any clinical improvement in the music group relative to the control group when the means were compared at T3. However, when the results were adjusted for baseline scores as control variables in the linear regression, anxiety levels of the music group were significantly lower than the control group at the end of trial (p =.013), and mental and spiritual well-being had a statistically significant increase in the music group at the end of trial (p =.002; p <. 001, respectively). The Sufi music therapy intervention was found to be feasible, acceptable and convenient to deliver, and the recruitment and retention rates in the intervention group were high. Furthermore, assessment of the clinical outcomes suggests that the intervention may reduce anxiety and improve mental and spiritual well-being. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
