Narrow Results

The aim of this study was to assess abused children in Saudi Arabia for possible psychological problems. The sample participants were nine Saudi families that included 29 children and eight caregivers (parent or guardian), and the method involved interviewing both the children (two sessions each) and the caregivers. Also, the children were asked to complete the self-report Spence children's anxiety scale (SCAS), while the parents were asked to complete the child behaviour checklist (CBCL). The results showed that children suffered from different types of anxiety, but the highest one was generalised anxiety disorder. Also, the children had emotional and behavioural problems and the most frequent ones were aggressive behaviours and being anxious/depressed. The conclusion is that abused children in Saudi Arabia had high levels of anxiety and behavioural and emotional problems and that this has implications for their care.

In recent years, modern people have lived a simple and busy life, and they have no other spirits and physical strengths to engage in regular sports. Long-term stress can easily cause autonomic diseases. The heart rate variability analysis has become a functional indicator for the study of the autonomic nervous system that can reflect changes in a person’s health. Therefore, it is necessary to detect stress by autonomic heart rate variability (HRV), and then understand that these symptoms in the original body caused by stress. This research explores the anxiety level change with music therapy on college students. Before music therapy and after music therapy, the degree of strain was measured by the situational anxiety table. The higher the degree of stress in the early stages of measurement is, the more relaxed the students will be after listening to music. However, there is no statistically significant difference in the effect of different levels of anxiety on the effectiveness of music therapy. At the same time, physiological measurements of electrocardiogram and blood pressure were performed before, during, and after the music treatment. The experimental results show that music therapy can effectively reduce the activity of sympathetic nerves and enhance the activity of parasympathetic nerves. It allows students to achieve physical and psychological relaxation after music therapy.
