Evaluation of Effect of Music On Pain, Anxiety and Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of music listened to during compulsory bed rest after coronary angiography on pain, anxiety and hemodynamic parameters experienced by patients. 80 patients were randomized into the music and control groups. The patients in the music group were allowed to listen to music (Sufi, relaxing, sounds of nature) preferred by them for 20-30 minutes half an hour after admission to the service for follow-up after angiography. No music was listened for the control group. The pain, anxiety, and hemodynamic parameters of the patients were measured before, immediately after, one hour after listening to music, and at discharge. There was no statistically significant intergroup difference in terms of average scores of pain and anxiety and hemodynamic parameters at the baseline (p>0.05). The difference between the average scores of pain and anxiety between groups in all measurements after listening to music was found to be significant (p<0.05). A decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate and an increase in oxygen saturation were determined in all measurements after listening to music in the patients in the music group. In the study, listening to music after the procedure in patients undergoing coronary angiography is effective in reducing pain and anxiety, decreasing blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate, and increasing oxygen saturation.
