“…This is supported by the previous study, where it concluded that state of anxiety regarding mammography is linked to attending, thinking on actual procedure, nervous anticipation about outcome of mammography examination, uncertain result and fear of the result, but it is not perceived as a great problem by some of the women in the study [32]- [34]. However, these factors can be prevented by delivered accurate information and emotional support [32], [35].…”

Anxiety was the barrier mostly chosen by women for not performing mammography examination. Music was perceived as an effective method in reducing these barriers. Thus, this study was done to investigate how music would influence anxiety level among women undergoing mammogram screening. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at randomly selected private hospitals around Klang Valley. The ’State-Trait Anxiety Inventory’ form was used to measure the level of anxiety. Respondents were categorized into two groups, which are control (no music) and experimental (with music) groups. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the anxiety level and T-test analysis were used to compare the anxiety level between both groups. A total of 60 respondents participated in this study in which 30 (50.0%) were in a control group and 30 (50.0%) were in the experimental group. Mean age of respondents were 53.5 (±12.7) years. The anxiety level is high in women who underwent mammography with no music (60.0%) as compared those with music (53.3%), although the difference is not significant (p>0.05). Music intervention has potential in reducing anxiety level during mammography examination.

“…Unfortunately, the policy of the government in Taiwan only permits us to use one method (culture) and one anatomic site (low vagina) to finish the GBS screening. In order to continue to support the overall strategy of improving global health in Taiwan, such as an annual Papanicolaou smear, bi-annual mammography, 11,12 and GBS screening for pregnant women, 1,8 we encourage more domestic studies to provide better evidence to support the policy of the Taiwanese government.…”
