The effect of music therapy on the level of anxiety in the patients undergoing coronary angiography

Abstract

The sedative effects of music on healthy and sick individuals are known for centuries. Nowadays, nursing has used the efficacy of music therapy in interventions. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of music, which the patients undergoing a coronary angiography for the first time listened to during the intraoperative period, on the level of anxiety in the patients. The study was conducted experimentally as a pretest/posttest control group design. Data collection form; state-trait anxiety inventory, CDs and CD player were used. Inventories were applied to the patients before the process. The study group (100 patients) listened to music throughout the intervention, whilst the control group (100 patients) listened to no music. At the end of the process, all patients were given the same state anxiety inventory once more. The data was assessed by number, percentage, mean distribution with the paired t-test and t test. It was found that the difference between the mean state anxiety scores obtained before and during the coronary angiography were significantly higher in the study group (4.04 ± 1.15) than the control group (2.01 ± 0.10) (p = 0.000). It was concluded that the music listened to during the coronary angiography process had an impact on the intraoperative anxiety levels of the patients.

Effects of a peer- led group education on fear, anxiety and depression levels of patients undergoing coronary angiography

“…Thus, appropriate training, reduction of psychological problems, increase in the patient's participation, and their adherence to medical prescriptions can also provide some information that can lead to the decrease of the patients' anxiety about the disease. (1) The other results of this study was a decrease in the level of anxiety in the experimental group compared to the control group after the educational intervention by the peers, which complies with the results of the researches performed by Varaee et al (17) , Chan et al (18) and Doğan et al, (19) emphasizing the fact that the use of peer group education and patient-centered educational interventions can cause a decrease in the patients' anxiety. The studies showed that providing the patients with angiography-related instructions through the health staff would reduce the anxiety caused by invasive procedures.…”

The effects of environmental factors in waiting rooms on anxiety among patients undergoing coronary angiography: A randomized controlled trial

“…Nurses have a responsibility to establish a healing and calm environment for patients before invasive procedures (Weeks & Nilsson, ). Nurses should recognize patients' anxieties and provide interventions to lessen these anxieties (Doğan & Şenturan, ). For instance, therapeutic sounds, daylight, pleasant views, and room colours can lessen anxiety during clinical interventions (Altimier, ).…”

Effects of Peer-Facilitated, Video-Based and Combined Peer-and-Video Education on Anxiety Among Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography: Randomised controlled trial

“…[4][5][6][7] Several studies have confirmed the effectiveness of providing information about the angiography process in reducing patient anxiety. 8,9 However, further research is required to identify the most effective approach and time to prepare a patient and their family for the procedure. 10 The use of an appropriate educational technique-such as educational leaflets or peer-facilitated or video-based training-may be effective in reducing patient anxiety.…”
