Effect of Turkish music that premature infants are made to listen during care on stress, oxygen saturation level and length of hospital stay

Abstract

Research was planned as an experimental study in order to determine the effect of Turkish music performance applied during care in the neonatal intensive care unit on stress indicators, oxygen saturation, peak heart rate, respiration value and length of hospital stay. It was an experimental study (experimental n: 30; control n: 30). Preterm infants were made to listen Turkish music for 30 minutes every day. Stress indicators, oxygen saturation, peak heart rate and respiration values observed prior to the care and during 30-minute Turkish music session were registered in the Patient Follow-up Form. No significant decrease was observed in the lengths of hospital stay, oxygen saturation levels and stress levels of babies in the experiment and control groups. It was also seen that peak heart rates and respiration values did not vary. As a conclusion, it was determined that Turkish music which preterm babies staying in the neonatal intensive care unit were made to listen did not affect peak heart rates and respiration values statistically significantly and they were normal. It was also seen that stress indicators were not affected.

Comparison the Effect of Breast Milk Smell, White Noise and Facilitated Tucking Applied to Turkish Preterm Infants During Endotracheal Suctioning on Pain and Physiological Parameters

“…Our search for studies comparing the effect of breast milk smell and white noise in reducing pain during the ES procedure demonstrated a gap in the literature. On the other hand, in some studies that investigated the effect of listening to music on reducing stress and pain in preterm infants, no statistically significant difference was determined between the heart rate values of the group listening to music and those of the group not listening to music (Aydın & Yıldız, 2014;Küçük Alemdar & Güdücü Tüfekçi, 2017;Tekgündüz, Polat, Gürol, & Ejder Apay, 2019). These results are consistent with the results of the present study.…”

Preterm infant physiological responses to music therapy: a systematic review

“…Music therapy began 30-60 minutes after feeding, nursing, as well as during or after heel stick procedures, at 9-10 AM, 10 AM -7 PM, 2-3 PM, 8-9 PM, 9-10 PM, or either morning or afternoon. [11][12][13][14][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Three studies used recorded maternal voice reading a book or singing a song. The recordings were delivered using a tape player or speaker placed inside the incubator, except for one study that did not explain the music delivery method.…”
