Otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan çocuklarda müzik terapinin otizm belirtileri ve yaşam kalitesine etkisi

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, müzik terapinin otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) olan çocuklarda otizm belirtileri ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmada OSB’li iki grup 24 olgu, aylık rutin çocuk psikiyatri kontrolleri ve özel eğitim ve dışında herhangi bir eğitim veya tedavi almayan bir grup ile bunlara ek olarak müzik terapi alan diğer grup, müzik terapi öncesi ve sonrasına ilişkin otizm belirtileri ve yaşam kalitesi açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Olguların hiçbiri psikiyatrik ilaç kullanmamıştır. Müzik terapi grubundaki çocuklara müzik terapisti tarafından sekiz hafta süreyle, haftada iki kez 40 dakikalık improvizasyonel müzik terapi uygulanmıştır. Otizm belirtileri Otizm Davranış Kontrol Listesi (ODKL), yaşam kalitesi Çocuklar için Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (ÇİYKÖ) ile belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Müzik terapi öncesi için iki grup arasında ODKL ve ÇİYKÖ alt ölçeklerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmamış olup, müzik terapi sonrası için iki grup arasında ODKL ilişki kurma, dil becerileri, toplam ölçek puanında (p=0.012, p=0.04, p=0.032) ve ÇİYKÖ duygusal yaşam kalitesi puanlarında (p

The effect of music therapy on autistic symptoms and quality of life in children with autism spectrum disorder

Objective: The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of music therapy on autistic symptoms and quality of life in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: In this research, 24 ASD diagnosed chil- dren in two groups; one group that received no treatment except monthly routine child psychiatric follow-up and special education, and the other group that received additional music therapy were compared in terms of pre and post music therapy autistic symptoms and quality of life. None of the children used psychiatric drugs. The children in the music therapy group received twice-weekly forty minute sessions of improvisational music therapy for eight weeks by a music therapist. Autistic symptoms were assessed with the Autism Behavior Checklist (AuBC) and quality of life was assessed with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Results: There was statistically significant difference in relationship building, language skills, total scores of AuBC (p=0.012, p=0.04, p=0.032) and in emotional quality of life scores of PedsQL (p=0.001) between two groups after music therapy with no statistically significant difference in AuBC or PedsQL scores before music therapy. In addition, it was revealed that ASD children in music therapy group had statistically significant lower scores in relationship building, body-object use, language skills, social self-care, total scores of AuBC (respectively, p
