Abstract BACKGROUND: There is increasing concern about the stress in health education and training; especially in medical, dental, nursing and physiotherapy education. Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively effects how one feels. Anxiety disorder form a category of mental health diagnosis that lead to excessive nervousness, fear, and worry. Although stress is not necessarily a symptom of anxiety or depressive disorder it can be precursor to these problems.
Accumulated evidence postulated that physiotherapy students’ mental health deteriorates because of challenging learning environment and ongoing battle to become certified healthcare providers.
Therapeutic Listening is a skill based intervention that is based on developmental and neurological principles that improves sensory motor functions of a brain by providing stimulation through a structured auditory therapy that uses specially designed music and sound frequencies to influence brain function, emotional regulation and stress reduction.

AIM OF STUDY: To determine the impact of Therapeutic Listening Programme on Depression, Anxiety and Stress in Physiotherapy Students.

METHODOLOGY: This study included consenting Physiotherapy students from Dr. BR. Ambedkar College of Physiotherapy, Bangalore. Each subject was screened for study inclusion and exclusion criteria and those who did not meet the selection criteria were excluded. The inclusion criteria included both male and female students within the age of 18 – 25 years, with their voluntary consent. A total of 30 participants will be selected. Then, selected 30 participants received the Therapeutic Listening Programme. This intervention was for 30 minute/ session once in a day, 3 days / week for 6 weeks. The Pre and Post Assessment were done using DASS – 21 Questionnaire. Thereafter, results were analysed.


RESULT: The result was found that the therapeutic listening programme significantly reduced depression, anxiety and stress among physiotherapy students. Thirty participants (mean age 20.8 ± 1.47 years) showed marked improvements, with depression scores decreasing by 4.66, anxiety by 4.07, and stress by 3.87 (all p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The study concludes that a 6-week therapeutic listening programme significantly reduced depression, anxiety, and stress levels in physiotherapy students, demonstrating its effectiveness as a supportive intervention for mental well-being.
