Abstract

Background: Music has been suggested as a complementary treatment and this study evaluates the effect ofmusic listened to on the vital signs and behaviour of children during the recovery period after day surgery.Study design: This study followed a randomized controlled design which involved a total sample size of 62children randomly assigned into 2 categories- experimental group (31) and control group (31).In both thegroups pulse rate , diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate andthe mean behaviour score before and after music therapy as well as the surgical procedure were evaluated.Frankl’s behaviour rating scale was used to evaluate the behaviour.Results: Children who listened to music during the recovery period demonstrated a more positive behaviourthan the group who did not listen to music . The experimental group exhibited a significantly lower valuein relation to pulse rate, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and behaviour rating score and asignificantly higher value in relation to oxygen saturation.(p<0.05)Conclusion: Music therapy can be considered as a complementary treatment method in children duringthe recovery period as it shows a positive effect on behaviour, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, diastolic andsystolic blood pressure
