Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The mean of the overall scores of Spiritual Well-Being before and after the intervention, were, respectively: 106.4 and 105.5 in Group 1; 103.2 and 105.2 in Group 2; 107.4 and 108.7 in Group 3. For the RWB the means were 57.9 and 56.9 in Group 1, 56.3 and 56.4 in Group 2, 57.4 and 58.1 in Group 3. For the EWB the means were 48.5 and 48.6 in Group 1, 46.9 and 48.9 in Group 2, 49.9 and 50.7 in Group 3. Although not statistically significant, the results suggest that passive listening to sacred music can improve the spiritual well-being levels of bereaved relatives, and the sung sacred music can support higher levels of spiritual well-being compared to instrumental sacred music. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Considering that spirituality is multidimensional and multifactorial, which hinders their perception and measurement, especially quantitatively as well as the sensitivity of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale the mood of the bereaved family and to the perspective with which they interpreted each of the 20 items of the scale, it is suggested, for future research, the use of a larger sample, or methodological designs - mixed or qualitative, to enable respectively assertive conclusions and generalize the results, and access to the subjectivity inherent to them. | — |
