The Use of Perioperative Music Listening on Anxiety, Pain, Analgesia Use and Patient Satisfaction in Patients Undergoing Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the use of music listening to reduce pain, anxiety, analgesic use, and improve patient satisfaction in people undergoing surgery. The study aims to assess how effective music is as a non-drug method during the perioperative period and to explore how well music listening can be implemented locally to enhance recovery and patient experience. The study has two phases. In Phase 1, 300 patients will be offered an iPod with earphones containing playlists of different music genres to listen to for about 30 minutes before and after surgery. In Phase 2, 110 women undergoing Caesarean delivery will be randomly assigned either to listen to music before, during, and after surgery or to receive no music intervention. Pain, anxiety, patient satisfaction, and quality of life will be measured in both phases. Participants will complete questionnaires including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and visual analog scales for anxiety and pain. Researchers will collect data on pain scores, analgesic use, and patient satisfaction before surgery and one day after. The study will also analyze the type, duration, and genre of music chosen. Safety procedures include disinfecting earphones according to hospital guidelines. The total participation duration varies depending on surgery and follow-up timing.
