This study evaluates the impact of music intervention on pain and vital signs in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.
Single-blind randomized controlled trial with 38 patients undergoing CABG.
Participants were divided into an experimental group listening to music and a control group with no audio.
Pain was measured using the Numerical Rating Scale and Wong-Baker FACES Scale during bed baths.
Music intervention group experienced significant pain score reduction during and after bed baths.
Mean pain score decrease of 2.41 points on NRS and 2.11 points on WBS (P < 0.001).
Significant heart rate reduction in the music group (P = 0.019).
