Abstract：Objective To explore the intervention effect of music-dance therapy on children with post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)after earthquakes.Methods Ninety-six PTSD children admitted to Xinjiang Hotian district people's hospital in 2023 were selected,and divided into a control group and an observation group,each of 48,according to a random number table.Both groups received conventional psychological intervention,while the observation group was additionally provided with characteristic music-dance therapy.After the intervention,the degree of psychological trauma,post-traumatic growth and mental health were compared between the two groups.Results After the intervention,the psychological trauma score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(t=7.235,P＜0.001),while the post-traumatic growth score and the degree of mental health were significantly better than the latter(t=-9.048,P＜0.001;t=5.297,P＜0.001).Conclusion Music-dance therapy can alleviate the degree of psychological trauma in children with post-traumatic stress disorder after earthquakes,and promote their post-traumatic growth and mental health.
