Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of music on vital signs and anxiety in hemodialysis patients. Method: This was randomized controlled (pre-test post-test) experimental study. In line with power analysis, a total of 46 patients who were receiving hemodialysis treatment were included in the study in two groups: 23 in the experimental group and 23 controls. The patients in the experimental group listened to music for 30 minutes during their treatment. The patients’ vital signs and anxiety were evaluated before the application, and in the 30th minute and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th hours of hemodialysis. Results: No significant difference was found between the mean vital signs scores of the two groups for any of the times (p<0.05). In patients in the experimental group, it was seen that mean blood pressure in the 3rd hour of hemodialysis (z=-2.265, p=0.024) and mean breathing rate in the 4th hour of hemodialysis (z=-2.028, p=0.043) showed a statistically significant reduction. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean anxiety scores of the two groups of patients for all times (p<0.05). The mean anxiety score of the experimental group patients showed a statistically significant reduction in the 30th minute of dialysis (z=-3.821, p= 0.000). Conclusion: The research findings show that music has a reducing effect on anxiety in hemodialysis patients.
