Popis: Abstract This study addresses the growing anxiety and depression among Chinese university students by evaluating and ranking music education strategies to alleviate these issues. We integrates Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). FAHP was utilized to determine the weight of factors such as academic pressures, social relationships, and cultural norms, while fuzzy TOPSIS ranked the effectiveness of music education interventions based on these weights. The results revealed that ‘Mental health stigma’ and ‘Academic Pressures and Rigidity’ are among the highest weighted factors, significantly impacting student anxiety. ‘Music Appreciation and Music-Based Self-Care’ emerged as the most effective strategy. These results highlight the importance of direct involvement in music-related activities for improving student mental health.
