Abstract

Elderly people often face sleep problems, indicated by difficulty staying asleep and returning to sleep after waking up at night. Their physical and emotional well-being may suffer as a result. One non-pharmacological way to enhance the quality of sleep is through classical music therapy. The purpose of this study is to investigate how classical music therapy affects senior citizens' sleep quality at the Tresna Werdha nursing home in Bengkulu. This study used a pretest-posttest paradigm in one group and a quantitative experimental design. The sample consisted of eight elderly people selected through a purposeful sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to gather information in order to evaluate the quality of sleep. SPSS version 27 was used for the analysis, along with a paired t-test and a Shapiro-Wilk normalcy test. The findings demonstrated an improvement in the sleep quality of elderly people after participating in classical music therapy. According to the normalcy test, the pretest (p = 0.120) and posttest (p = 0.245) data were normally distributed. The paired t-test results showed that classical music therapy significantly improved older people's sleep quality, with a mean difference of 5.875; t = 10.119; df = 7; and p < 0.001. It was concluded that classical music therapy was effective in improving sleep quality in the elderly.
