This study aims to examine the effect of an ambient music and movement-based listening program on stress, anxiety, and depression in single-person households. The participants of the study consisted of 12 single-person households residing in Seoul, and the program was conducted once a week for 4 weeks, total of 4 sessions, each 90 minutes long, from April 1 to April 22, 2024. The paired sample t-test analyzed the changes in the stress scale, anxiety scale, and depression scale. As a result, the participants' stress, anxiety, and depression scores all decreased after the program compared to before. This confirmed that the ambient music and movement-based listening program is effective in reducing stress in single-person households. This is expected to provide foundational data for future studies on integrated music therapy combining ambient music and movement, and could also be actively applied in the development of multifunctional art therapy programs.
