Highlights
- •Although music is often used to support children's sleep, interest in bioenergy applications is also increasing.
- •Non-pharmacological methods are valuable in order not to increase the burden of the liver in children with transplantation.
- •In this study, it was determined that therapeutic touch and music applications had positive effects on the sleep parameters.
Abstract
Purpose
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of therapeutic touch and music rest
on the sleep of children with liver transplantation.
Design and methods
The data of the study were collected between February 2021 and November 2021. The
study was completed with 50 patients included in the therapeutic touch and music rest
groups. Therapeutic touch and music practices were applied for three consecutive days,
once a day and 20 min. Before and after the practices, the 24-h sleep of the children
was evaluated with actigraphy.
Results
It was determined that the time in bed, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency of
the children in the therapeutic touch group increased after the procedure. On the
other hand, it was determined that the time in bed, and total sleep time increased,
and the onset latency decreased after the procedure in the children in the music rest
group. It was determined that the effects of therapeutic touch and music rest applications
on sleep parameters after the procedure were similar.
Conclusion
It has been determined that therapeutic touch and music rest applications have an
improving effect on the sleep of children with liver transplantation.
Practice implications
Music rest and therapeutic touch, which are non-pharmacological methods that do not
increase the burden of the liver, can be used by health professionals to support the
sleep of children with liver transplantation.
