Abstract |
The goal of this study was to determine if listening to music at intervals before, during, and after surgery would make a difference in the stress level of children who were scheduled to have same day surgery for hernia repair. The research interventions were initiated 30 minutes prior to time of induction and concluded 48 hours postoperatively. Forty patients, ages one to five years, were assigned to one of the following groups: 1. classical music-playing headphones; 2. preferred music-playing headphones; 3. non-tape playing headphones; and, 4. no headphones Ease of induction and various postoperative behaviors including pain medication requirements, length of recovery room stay, and postoperative stress were analyzed to determine differences between the four groups. No significant differences between groups were found; however, trends show that children in the music group used less pain medication than children in the non-music group. In all groups parents were able to accurately predict their child's ease of induction at the.0027 level of significance. |
