Summary
Anxiety is a common phenomenon among patients who are undergoing surgery. It is a condition characterized by stress, nervousness, fear, unpleasant feeling, and higher activity of Autonomic Nervous System. The current studies demonstrated that listening to music, reduces anxiety levels.
Detailed description
Pre-operative anxiety is recognised as a potential and preventable risk factor for post-operative complications. It is estimated that between 25% to 80% of patients admitted to hospital for surgery experience pre-operative anxiety, and anxiety can negatively influence patient recovery.Physiologically pre-operative anxiety can lead to autonomic dysfunction and can modify inflammatory responses, platelet activity, and immunologic functioning. The Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI), created by Aaron T. Beck is a 21 questions multiple choice self report inventory which measures the severity of an anxiety in adults and adolescents. It has been widely used in clinical research in mental health care mainly to measure general anxiety. The total score for all 21 symptoms can range between 0 and 63 points. A total score of 0 - 7 is interpreted as "Minimal" level of anxiety, 8 - 15 as "Mild"; 16 - 25 as "Moderate" and 26 - 63 as "Severe" level of anxiety. This study aims to compare the alleviation of Pre-operative anxiety in patients undergoing surgery with or without music.
