Musical Intervention for the Management of Anxiety and Stress in People With Severe Mental Disorder in a Medium-stay Unit.

The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of music therapy on perceived anxiety and stress, as well as its effect on the recovery process in individuals with Severe Mental Disorder who are admitted to a Regional Medium-Stay Unit. The main questions to be addressed are: Can music therapy produce a significant difference in anxiety levels in people with Severe Mental Disorder? Can music therapy produce a significant effect on perceived stress in people with Severe Mental Disorder? Can music therapy lead to a significant improvement in recovery process indicators in people with Severe Mental Disorder? Can a relationship be objectively established between a reduction in anxiety and perceived stress levels and an increase in recovery process indicators? A total of 15 sessions will be carried out, and each session will last 60 minutes. The participants will select the songs, rhythms, or sounds they want to choose according to the session theme, followed by a dialogue between the participant and the nurse.
