Methods and Materials: Databases like CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar were used to undertake a systematic literature study. Based on inclusion criteria, nine qualitative studies published between 2019 and 2025 were chosen.

Music therapy lowered anxiety and depression, raised mood, boosted cognitive involvement, and enhanced nurses to residents relationships.
Conclusion: One safe, efficient, and all-encompassing way to address older adult mental health care is music therapy. Nurses are absolutely essential in its execution. To enhance resident well-being and personnel happiness, the research advises incorporating music therapy into conventional treatment methods and nursing education.
