Abstract
Currently, there has been increasing popularity in applying non-pharmacological management using music or sound in various forms, in order to reduce side effects from drugs. This study was aimed to explore the effects of Suandok Sound Therapy (SST) application with music embedded with or without binaural beats (BB) and white noise (WN) on physiological responses and anxiety level in adult and older people. Forty-eight participants, aged 19-69 in Phitsanulok province were randomly divided into 4 groups of 12, with 3 groups using the SST application: group 1 listening to BB music, group 2 listening to music without mixing with BB (MS), group 3 listening to WN, all intervention groups being assigned for 10 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks, and group 4 as a control group, living a normal life. The parameters used for assessing physiological responses included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). The anxiety score (AS) and satisfaction towards SST were also assessed. Results revealed that the group 1 had a significant decrease in SBP, DBP, RR, HR and AS (p< .05), the group 2 had SBP, DBP, RR and AS significant reduced (p< .05), the group 3 showed only a significant decrease in RR and AS (p <.05) and the control group had no significant change in SBP, DBP, RR, HR and AS.
Our findings suggest that Suandok sound therapy (SST) application affects physiological responses and anxiety levels in adults and older persons. The recommendation for healthcare professionals is to incorporate Suandok sound therapy (SST) application as an adjuvant tool for adults and older persons, especially to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
