METHODS 70 Male patients undergoing rigid cystoscopy between May 2011 and October 2011 were randomized into either listening to music (Group I, n=35) or not listening to music (Group II, n=35). Both groups viewed the procedure on a video monitor during procedure. We determined their levels of anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Test form. Patients′ satisfaction, pain, and willingness to undergo a repeated procedure were self-assessed using a visual analog scale (0-10). Statistical analyses were performed using an independent t test. A P value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in demographic characteristics between the two groups. Mean age, duration of the procedure, and indications for the procedure were also comparable in the two groups. (Table 1) The mean anxiety level in group I was lower than group II (P < 0.001). The mean satisfaction score was higher in group I compared to group II (P <0.001). The mean pain score in group I was lower than group II (P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the postprocedural pulse rate and systolic blood pressure (P=0.012, P=0.008); however, preprocedure pulse rate and systolic blood pressure remained the same. (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS Listening to music during rigid cystoscopy helps reduce patients′ anxiety, pain, dissatisfaction during the procedure. Therefore, listening to music can play an adjunctive role to sedation in cystoscopy and it is a simple and inexpensive way to improve patients′ comfort during the procedure. © 2012 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 187Issue 4SApril 2012Page: e612 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2012 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Min Gu Park Seoul, Korea, Republic of More articles by this author Kyung Seok Kang Seoul, Korea, Republic of More articles by this author Jeoung Kyun Yeo Seoul, Korea, Republic of More articles by this author Dae Yeon Cho Seoul, Korea, Republic of More articles by this author Seok San Park Seoul, Korea, Republic of More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
