Abstract
Cancer constitutes one of illnesses which frequently causes pain and anxiety. The management of cancer pain comprises the pharmacology and non-pharmacology. The pharmacologic management, at some points, fails to provide a complete relief from the pain and instead gives rises to unwanted side-effects on the patients that necessitate the employment of non-pharmacologic management such as music therapy. The purpose of this systematic review is to discover the effects of music therapy on the pain and anxiety levels on the cancer patient. Systematic Review encompasses literature obtained from library research and internet research using search engine such as PubMed, Medline, Proquest, dan Elsevier. The articles comprise the full text journals published between the years of 2009-2016. 87.50% out of 8 articles (1 systematic review) demonstrates that music therapy effectively alleviates the pain to 75.00% and lowers the anxiety level, and 12.50% of insignificant palliative effect in terms of the pain and anxiety. Music therapy is an effective non-pharmacologic therapy to alleviate or relieve the cancer patients of the resultant pain and anxiety.
