INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the effect of music listened to during recovery period after day surgery on anxiety state and vital signs of child and adolescent patients.
METHODS: A pre-test/post-test control group design. Intervention group(listened music) and control group were compared.
RESULTS: Patients(n=65) who listened music demonstrated less anxiety than those who did not listen to music(n=65). Also in the intervention group, pulse rates, diastolic and systolic blood pressure values and respiratory rates decreased after music therapy.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Music listened to during post-operative recovery period decreases the anxiety level of patients. Music therapy is a method which shows positive effects on pulse rate, diastolic and systolic blood pressure values and respiratory rate without any side effects. Music therapy may be included in nursing care procedures applied to patients after day case surgery during recovery period.
