임상연구 : 부분마취 환자에서 수술 중과 수술 후의 음악이 수술 후 불안과 긴장 완화에 미치는 영향 = The Effect of Intraoperative and Postoperative Music on Patients of Regional Anesthesia

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: Music influences the body and mental well-being of humans. Almost all patients undergoing surgery experience perioperative anxiety. This study was designed to determine the effect of music during surgery and the post-operation period under regional anesthesia on the level of anxiety, relaxation and fatigue. Methods: Sixty-four patients who underwent orthopedic surgery under regional anesthesia were randomly assigned to Group 1 (listening to music) and Group 2 (no music). The premedication and anesthesia were standardized for both groups. The level of anxiety, fatigue and psychological well-being were examined as outcome variables. Results: The level of anxiety and psychological well-being was significantly lower (anxiety：P = 0.012, psychological well-being：P = 0.006) in Group 1 than in Group 2. The level of fatigue was similar in both groups. Conclusions: The results suggested that music might be effective in reducing the level of intra and post-operative anxiety and improving the psychological well-being of patients undergoing surgery under regional anesthesia.
