Detailed description

Introduction: Music therapy is attracting attention today because it is a person-centered approach that does not require any special skills and/or significant financial investments.

This study will be conducted using a randomized controlled trial design. It is planned to include 75 women in total, 25 patients in the music recital group, 25 patients in the music and affirmation group and 25 patients in the control group. Data in the study will be collected using the Introductory Information Form, Edmonton Symptom Diagnostic Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Psychological Resilience Scale.
