Resumen:
Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder, whose main treatment focuses on a pharmacological approach with antipsychotics. More and more non-pharmacological interventions, such as music therapy, are being proposed as an alternative to complement their approach and improve the quality of life of affected people. The objective of this research is to examine the characteristics and effects of intervention studies based on music therapy carried out by nurses and aimed at adults with schizophrenia during the hospitalization process. A systematic search of the literature was carried out, which provided 7 intervention studies based on music therapy for people with schizophrenia in hospitalization units and led by nursing. All interventions showed beneficial effects of this therapy in improving psychiatric symptoms and increasing quality of life.
