Abstract:
Objective To compare two kinds of music therapy to improve the anxiety of ICU patients in order to explore the best setting of individual music therapy and improve efficiency of music therapy.Methods According to enrolling order,60 patients who had been in ICU for more than 1 week were divided into the test group and the control group with 30 cases in each group.The two groups both received conventional nursing.The test group listened to different music without time constrain every day.The control group received fixed music timing every day.Before and after intervention,the two groups were investigated with self-rating anxiety scale(SAS).Results The SAS score of the test group significantly decreased after intervention,showing statistical difference(P＜0.01).The SAS score of the control group decreased after intervention as well,but showing no statistical difference(P＞0.05).The score of the test group was lower than that of the test group after intervention,showing statistical difference(P＜0.01).Conclusions The therapy using different music without time constrain has better effect on reducing the anxiety of ICU patients than that using timing and fixed music.
