Effects of Music Therapy on Anxiety of Intravenous Urology Patients

Abstract

This study is a research based on the non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design whose purpose is to examine the effects of music therapy on the anxiety of patients who take the Intravenous Urography test and their feeling of discomfort during the test."The first hypothesis that the experimental group who receive music therapy will be lower in score for anxiety during the Intravenous UrographyI test than the control group who do not was supported because after the therapy, the experimental group was found significantly decreased in that score in comparison to the control group. "The second hypothesis that the experimental group who receive music therapy will be fewer in vital signs after the Intravenous Urography test than the control group who do not" was rejected in terms of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. But the same hypothesis was partially supported because the two groups showed a significant difference in pulse rate after the test. "The third hypothesis that the experimental group who receive music therapy will be less in the feeling of subjective discomfort during the Intravenous Urography test than the control group who do not" was verified to find that the two groups were significantly different from each other in the feeling. Specifically, there was a significant difference between the two groups in only one sub-area of that These findings suggest that music therapy could be an alternative method which can effectively reduce the state anxiety of patients during the Intravenous Urography test. 1) 음악요법이 경정맥요로조영검사 중 환자의 불안 감소에 영향을 미치는지를 파악한다.2) 음악요법이 경정맥요로조영검사 중 환자의 활력 징후에 영향을 미치는지를 파악한다.3) 음악요법이 경정맥요로조영검사 중 환자의 불편 감에 영향을 미치는지를 파악한다.
