Bmgim Music Therapy Method in Reducing Stress in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

University of Valencia51 enrolled

Overview

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term that defines a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the intestine. It includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The objective of the study was to administer a treatment based on a group adaptation of the BMGIM in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and assess its impact on state of mind, quality of life, anxiety, depression, immunocompetence as a marker of well-being, and levels of acute and chronic stress. To achieve the objectives a quasi-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, analytical, and prospective study was performed. 41 patients with IBD divided into a test group (24 patients), who received 8 sessions over 8 weeks, and a control group (17 patients). A saliva sample was taken from each patient before and after each session to determine cortisol levels (acute stress) and IgA (immunocompetence) using ELISA. A series of questionnaires were completed as follows: HADS (perceived anxiety), MOOD (state of mind), and CCVEII (quality of life). Similarly, a hair sample was taken before the first and after the last session to determine the cumulative cortisol level (chronic stress) using ELISA.
