This study examines whether patients' use of self\u2010selected music while undergoing first radiotherapy treatment reduces anxiety, and how patients describe their first radiotherapy experience with or without self\u2010selected music.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Using quantitative and qualitative methods, 100 participants preparing to commence radiotherapy were assigned to the initial radiotherapy session either with self\u2010selected music or without music. In both participant groups, the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory measured pre\u2010 and post\u2010radiotherapy levels, music preference questions examined future music desires during treatment and a semistructured questionnaire examined additional subjective experiences.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Overall, participants were not highly anxious pre\u2010radiotherapy, anxiety decreased in both music and control groups following radiotherapy (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.008) and this change was not different between groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.35). However, music group participants were significantly more likely to want music in future radiotherapy sessions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.007). Some reported a benefit from the music in terms of feeling supported, distracted or that treatment time seemed faster. Participants in both groups often commended helpful staff. Negative reactions were only occasional.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Although preferred music does not reduce anxiety, it can support some patients undergoing initial radiotherapy and departmental staff should invite patients to bring music to radiotherapy, provide music libraries and offer to play patient selected music during treatments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1754-9485.2012.02395.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,29]],"date-time":"2012-05-29T02:07:19Z","timestamp":1338257239000},"page":"473-477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Effect of self\u2010selected music on adults' anxiety and subjective experiences during initial radiotherapy treatment: A randomised controlled trial and qualitative research"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Clare","family":"O'Callaghan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Sproston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Wilkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Willis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alvin","family":"Milner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denise","family":"Grocke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Greg","family":"Wheeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"S99","article-title":"Is symptom burden a predictor of anxiety and depression in patients with cancer about to commence chemotherapy?","volume":"190","author":"Breen SJ","year":"2009","journal-title":"Med J Aust"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6603057"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0360-3016(01)01711-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","first-page":"855","article-title":"Music as a therapeutic intervention for anxiety in patients receiving radiation therapy","volume":"28","author":"Smith M","year":"2001","journal-title":"Oncol Nurs Forum"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1188\/04.ONF.E39-E45"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2310\/7200.2007.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2006.09.0126"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrobp.2004.06.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.150.11.1700"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/NCC.0b013e3181b0f2b4"},{"issue":"8","key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","article-title":"Music interventions for improving psychological and physical outcomes in cancer patients","author":"Bradt J","year":"2011","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","first-page":"27","article-title":"Can relaxation interventions reduce anxiety in patients receiving radiotherapy?
