Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test effects of music therapy on stress due to preterm labor and uterine contraction in pregnant women with preterm labor. An experimental research design was used. Participants were 35 pregnant women with preterm labor who were between 20 to 37 weeks of pregnancy: control group (n=18) received only tocolytic drugs, while experimental group (n=17) received additional music therapy. In the experimental group, Traumerei was applied before Non-Stress Test (NST) from the second day to fifth day after admission as music therapy. There was a statistically significant difference in stress due to preterm labor (z=-3.368, p<.001) between the two groups. The music therapy is an effective method for reducing the stress of pregnant women with preterm labor.
