Purpose
This study aimed to examine the effects of dance/movement programs on self-esteem, depression, and anxiety in psychiatric inpatients.
Methods
The research design was a non-equivalent and non-synchronized control group design. For this research, a total of 43 subjects were selected at a psychiatric unit of C university hospital in U-city.
The experimental group consisted of 20 subjects and they received a dance/movement program service 2 times per week for 5 weeks. The remaining 23 subjects were assigned to the control group and they received standard services without a dance/movement program. In data analysis the SPSS/WIN 14.0 program was used.
