About this study
Official title: Music Listening for Psychological and Emotional Wellbeing in Adults With Acquired Visual Impairment: a Feasibility Study
A visual impairment (VI) is often associated with reduced psychological wellbeing. Music can be used in a variety of ways to promote psychological wellbeing. Music intervention studies demonstrate that listening to music can provide a distraction from unpleasant thoughts/feelings. Hence, music may serve as a catalyst to improve mood and relieve feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if it is feasible for people with acquired VI to self-deliver daily music listening (music alone or with mindful music listening instructions) for wellbeing, in participants homes, for four-weeks, and to collect data remotely on efficacy in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and treatment fidelity.
Read the detailed description
Detailed Description:
As part of the study participants will be asked to:
- listen to music online at home (for example streaming music using Apple Music, Spotify or the provider participants have an existing account with) for up to one-hour each day, five days a week for four-weeks.
- complete a listening diary log each day (10 minutes duration approximately). This provides an opportunity for participants to record their feelings and emotions after every listening exercise.
- complete surveys to capture evaluative information before and after the four-weeks music listening trial.
- part take in a series of one-to-one consultations via Zoom/MS Teams (video optional) on creating a personalised playlist for each participant, technical and instructional training and follow up progress.
- optional one-to-one interview via Zoom/MS Teams (video optional) on feedback and experience of this daily music listening research study (10 minutes duration approximately).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mindful Music ListeningBehavioural
Participants will be instructed to self-administer this intervention daily, five days a week, for four weeks, 20 to 60 minutes per day at any time that is convenient for them.
During the intervention period, participants will be recommended to listen to music in a private setting that is quiet, where they will not be disturbed or distracted so they can fully focus on the music.
Participants in the mindful listening group will be given specific instructions on how to listen and follow mindfulness.
Music ListeningBehavioural
Participants will be instructed to self-administer this intervention daily, five days a week, for four weeks, 20 to 60 minutes per day at any time that is convenient for them.
During the intervention period, participants will be recommended to listen to music in a private setting that is quiet, where they will not be disturbed or distracted so they can fully focus on the music. No other specific music listening instructions will be given
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mindful Music Listening | Experimental | Participants in the mindful music listening group, will receive personalised music playlists based on music tracks or albums or genres suggested by the participant in the pre-intervention survey. The playlist will be created on the streaming platform they are subscribed to.
In addition to listening to their preferred music daily, they will be emailed a brief mindful music exercise to complete prior to listening to their preferred music playlist (weeks 1-4). The mindful music exercise will have spoken instructions, and focus on key element of mindfulness of paying attention to the present moment. For example, If participants were to notice any thoughts or sensations arising either during the brief exercise or during subsequent music listening, they are to allow them to pass and to gently bring their attention back to the exercise/music. Receives: Behavioral: Mindful Music Listening |
| Music Listening | Active comparator | Participants in the music listening group will receive personalised playlists based on music tracks or albums or genres suggested by the participant in the pre-intervention survey. The playlist will be created on the streaming platform they are subscribed to. In contrast to the mindful-music condition, no specific listening instructions will be given to the music listening only condition. Receives: Behavioral: Music Listening |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of the intervention
Feasibility of the intervention will be reported as the percentage of participants who enrol and complete the entire study.
Measured: At baseline to Week 5 (Pre to Post intervention)
Attrition rate of the intervention
The percentage of recruited participants dropped out from the study prematurely
Measured: Week 5 (Post Intervention)
To understand the reasons for attrition rate of the intervention
Qualitative methods will be utilised to identify reasons the recruited participants dropped out from the study prematurely via free text comment boxes on the evaluation survey and optional semi-structured interviews.
Measured: Week 5 (Post Intervention)
Acceptability of the intervention
Acceptability will be defined as participant's evaluation of the online intervention using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The acceptability of the intervention will be reported as the percentage of participants who evaluated the intervention and score it 5 being "acceptable" in contrast to 1 being "unacceptable" on a 5-point researcher devised Likert scale. Feedback on the overall intervention will be collated through free text comment boxes on the evaluation survey and optional semi-structured interviews.
Measured: Week 5 (Post Intervention)
Accessibility of the intervention
Accessibility will be defined as participant's evaluation of the online intervention using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The accessibility of the intervention will be reported as the percentage of participants who evaluated the intervention, and score it 5 being "very easy" in contrast to 1 being "very difficult" to use on a 5-point researcher devised Likert scale. To identify the accessibility barriers, free text comment boxes on the evaluation survey will be utilised and optional semi-structured interviews.
Measured: Week 5 (Post Intervention)
Adherence to submission of a music listening diary log
Adherence to submission of the music listening diary log will be reported as the percentage of the participants who complete the diary log.
Measured: Daily (Week 1 to Week 4)
Treatment adherence at 4-weeks from baseline
Treatment adherence will be reported as the percentage of the participants who complete all aspects of the study, i.e. diary log submissions, all music exercises.
Measured: Week 1 to Week 5 (Pre intervention to Post Intervention)
To identify reasons for motivation or barriers to adherence
Qualitative methods will be utilised to identify reasons for motivation or barriers to adherence using free text comment boxes on the evaluation survey and optional semi-structured interviews.
Measured: Week 1 to Week 5 (Pre intervention to Post Intervention)
Secondary outcomes (3)
Changes in Depression levels
Depression will be self-rated by participants using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). This is assessed on a scale 0-21, below 7 indicates normal levels, 8-10 means borderline abnormal and 11-21 infers abnormal levels of depression.
Measured: Baseline and Week 5 (Pre and Post Intervention)
Changes in Anxiety levels
Anxiety will be self-rated by participants using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). This is assessed on a scale 0-21, below 7 indicates normal levels, 8-10 means borderline abnormal and 11-21 infers abnormal levels of anxiety.
Measured: Baseline and Week 5 (Pre and Post Intervention)
Changes in Stress levels
Stress will be self-rated by participants using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). This is assessed on a scale 0 to 40. Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.
Measured: Baseline and Week 5 (Pre and Post Intervention)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
A visual impairment (VI) is often associated with reduced psychological wellbeing. Music can be used in a variety of ways to promote psychological wellbeing. Music intervention studies demonstrate that listening to music can provide a distraction from unpleasant thoughts/feelings. Hence, music may serve as a catalyst to improve mood and relieve feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.
