Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effect of listening to music on postoperative cognitive function in older adults after hip or knee surgery. This work was a randomized controlled study that involved an intervention group and control group. Study data were recollected by using a patient information form, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and NEECHAM Confusion Scale. Music was played three times a day to the participants in the intervention group for 3days postoperatively. The mean MMSE and NEECHAM scores of the intervention and control groups were compared. No statistically significant difference was found in the mean MMSE (P>.05) between the two groups. A statistically significant difference in the mean NEECHAM Confusion Scale score was observed between the groups (P<.001). This study demonstrated that listening to music was important in preventing postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients who underwent hip or knee arthroplasty.
