The effect of music-supported acceptance and commitment therapy on perceived stress and pain in cancer patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of music-supported acceptance and commitment therapy on perceived stress and pain levels in cancer patients.
methodsA total of 79 cancer patients participated in this controlled, pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental study (experimental group: n=29; control group: n=50). The intervention group received eight sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy with music, while the control group received standard care. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale and the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory.
resultsThe post-test Perceived Stress Scale scores of the experimental group were statistically significantly lower compared to the control group (26.17±3.52 vs. 28.88±5.73, p<0.05), indicating a reduction in perceived stress. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference in pain severity scores between the groups (9.62±2.33 in the experimental group vs. 8.06±3.14 in the control group, p<0.05). The effect size for stress reduction was moderate (Cohen's d=-0.54).
conclusionThis study revealed that a music-supported acceptance and commitment therapy reduced perceived stress, pain severity, and pain interference in cancer patients. Nurses should actively involve non-pharmacological methods in pain and stress management planning in collaboration with patients and their families. They should create a therapeutic environment and take necessary measures to enable patients to benefit from non-pharmacological interventions.
