Self-selected music therapy for preprocedural anxiety has not been studied.
The study tackles about the effect of music to reduce anxiety of patients
undergoing colonoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy. A sample was taken and
the results were statistically significant, that patients are quite more relaxed when
hearing music during the procedure. The study did proved the advantages of music,
though the study needs to use more factors to reduce anxiety of patients
undergoing such procedures.
If can only suggest, the study should also involve the use of different genres
of music to determine the most effective genre that patients are most relaxed. In
that way, nurses in the endoscopy unit are aware of the most effective anxiety-
relieving music to play. Also, the study should also involve the taste of the patient
on music. There is a possibility that patients have different tastes in music; some
like classical but others like rock. Determining their taste of genre, there is less
occurrence of ineffective use of music as a relaxation technique.
But what as I had observed from the hospitals that I had been affiliated with, I
had noticed that nurses only play their song of choice, but not considering songs for
the patient to be relax. The therapeutic effect of the music is not brought to the
patient, which is more likely negligence to nurses, not considering care to the
patient. Hospital staffs must observe this in order that the hospital to become more
patient-friendly.
