In this study, the authors evaluated the potential role of an activity-based guitar training program on reducing anxiety and providing fulfillment for younger relatives of cancer patients. Ten active members of KHYD (The Society for Relatives of Cancer Patients), between ages 11 and 17 participated in an 8-week guitar education program. The participants filled out two questionnaires before and after their engagement in the 8-week program, one to measure changes in their anxiety levels (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and the other to measure changes in their general fulfillment levels (Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale). Wilcoxon signed rank test, as well as descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of data. Mean rank differences were observed to be statistically significant with respect to total state and trait anxiety scores; in both cases, the participants’ scores decreased after their engagement in the program. Statistically significant mean rank differences were also observed in the overall MSLSS scores and its “friends” and “environment” sub-dimensions; with respect to these, participants’ scores increased after their engagement in the program. Recommendations for more comprehensive, larger-scale studies are given at the end.

在这项研究中，作者评估了基于活动的吉他训练计划在减少焦虑和为癌症患者的年轻亲属提供满足感方面的潜在作用。KHYD（癌症患者亲属协会）的 10 名活跃成员，年龄在 11 至 17 岁之间，参加了为期 8 周的吉他教育计划。参与者在参加为期 8 周的计划之前和之后填写了两份问卷，一份用于衡量他们焦虑水平的变化（State-Trait Anxiety Inventory），另一份用于衡量他们总体实现水平的变化（多维学生生活满意度）规模）。Wilcoxon 符号秩检验以及描述性统计用于数据分析。观察到平均等级差异在总状态和特质焦虑分数方面具有统计学意义；在这两种情况下，参与者在参与该计划后的分数都下降了。在总体 MSLSS 分数及其“朋友”和“环境”子维度中也观察到了统计学上显着的平均等级差异；在这些方面，参与者在参与该计划后得分有所提高。最后给出了更全面、更大规模研究的建议。参加该计划后，参与者的分数有所增加。最后给出了更全面、更大规模研究的建议。参加该计划后，参与者的分数有所增加。最后给出了更全面、更大规模研究的建议。
