Highlights
- •Pediatric cardiac catheterization is a source of pain, which cannot be fully treated with medications.
- •Music therapy during pediatric cardiac catheterization has an effect on reduction of pain, fear, anxiety.
- •Music therapy has an effect on stabilization of vital signs.
- •Nurses can improve children's comfort by using musical interventions.
Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of music during pediatric cardiac catheterization
procedure on children's pain, fear, anxiety and vital signs.
Design and methods
This randomized, blind controlled study was conducted with the guidelines of Consolidated
Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). The sample of children was allocated to the
Control Group, the Classic Music Group, and the Self-Selected Group. Pain, fear, and
anxiety levels were measured before and after the pediatric cardiac catheterization
procedure. Vital signs were measured before, during, and after the pediatric cardiac
catheterization procedure.
Results
There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic status,
pain, fear, or anxiety levels and vital signs before the procedure. In post pediatric
cardiac catheterization measurement in the recovery phase, pain, fear levels, anxiety
levels, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure of children in the musical
intervention groups were lower than the control group. No statistical difference was
found in terms of pain, fear and anxiety levels of the children in groups Classic
and Self-Selected.
Conclusion and practice implications
The result of this research reveals that musical intervention applied during the pediatric
cardiac catheterization procedure in children affects the reduction of pain, fear
and anxiety levels and stabilization of vital signs. This intervention could be an
effective nonpharmacological method to improve outcomes.Nurses can improve children's
comfort by using musical interventions.
Clinical Registration: This study was registered at the U.S. National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials
