Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Patients undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery experience varying degrees of discomfort. Few studies evaluate the effect of music on patients` comfort. Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to determine effect of listening to music on general comfort level of patients underwent CABG surgery. Study Design: This was a randomized controlled trial. Setting: This study was conducted in open heart surgery Intensive Care Unit (OHICU) in Imam Khomeini Hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: 65 patients with age between 30 to 75 years, stable hemodynamic condition, no substance abuse, no hearing problems and underwent CABG surgery for the first time were allocated to two groups of intervention and control by block balanced randomization method. Intervention was listening to preferred light and instrumental music for 30 minutes in day after surgery at 4 to 6 PM by MP3 player and individual headphone, while patients in the control group received usual care. Study outcome was general comfort level that was measured by general comfort questionnaire (GCQ) at baseline and at end of the study. Statistics: SPSS software version 16 was used. Data were described and analyzed by descriptive statistics and statistical tests. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: At end of the study, 62 patients (31 patients in each group) completed the study. There is no significant difference between the two groups at baseline regarding demographic and clinical characteristic (P>0.05). Although patients` general comfort level was not different between intervention and control groups (47.10 ±2.04, and 47.10 ±1.95; P= 1.000), it improved significantly following the intervention in the intervention group compared with control group (45.48±2.01 vs 47.29±1.95; P< 0.001). Conclusion: Our study indicated that listening to preferred music can be used as a non-invasive intervention by nurses for patients underwent CABG surgery during hospitalization in order to improve their general comfort level.
