Abstract
Objective To examine the effects of music intervention on the physiological variables and the anxiety level of mechanically ventilated patients. Methods A total of 150 patients with mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into the music group, the headphone group and the control group. The patients were investigated by using the C-STAI scale before and after the study period. The indicators including heart rate, respiratory rate,saturation of oxygen and blood pressure were recorded before and after the study period. Results Significant differences were found in state anxiety before and after the test in music group and headphone group (P ＜ 0. 01 ).The difference ( post-pre ) of state anxiety within three groups revealed significant differences ( P ＜ 0. 01 ).Significant differences were found on HR, RR, SBP and DBP before and after the test in music group (P ＜0. 01 ).Conclusions Music and headphone can reduce anxiety in mechanically ventilated patients and the effects of the former are better. Music can steady the heart rate, saturation of oxygen and blood pressure for patients with mechanical ventilation. Key words: Music intervention; Mechanical ventilation; Anxiety; Nursing
