Psychiatric Inpatient Music Therapy Trial Data from Bogotá

74 participants from a randomized controlled trial comparing high-frequency and low-frequency music therapy sessions in an adult psychiatric inpatient unit. Data includes baseline and post-intervention scores for depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21), emotional responses (CISMA items), and life satisfaction (SWLS). The dataset was authored by Manuel Esteban-Cárdenas and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare stress symptom reduction based on intervention frequency using the DASS-21 stress subscale scores.
• Analyze the relationship between music therapy session frequency and emotional responses using selected CISMA instrument items.
• Model changes in depression and anxiety scores from baseline to post-intervention across treatment groups.
• Investigate correlations between stress reduction and global life satisfaction as measured by the SWLS.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial with computer-generated allocation concealment, suggesting a controlled study design.
• Includes pre- and post-intervention assessments for 74 participants using validated scales (DASS-21, SWLS).
• Licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain modeling tasks.
• The sample size of 74 completers is relatively small for robust subgroup analysis.
