Data collection

Prior to data collection, the researcher formulated a letter of consent to ask permission for the data gathering on the selected hospitals. The letter will be sent to the researchers adviser, research coordinator and to the dean of the college of nursing for approval. The said letter will be then forwarded to the hospital directors and chief nurses of Ricardo P. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital, Ospital ning Angeles and Mabalacat district hospital to ask permission to conduct the study on the said institution.

To be able to found a subject qualified for the study, the chart of each patient will be reviewed to find out if the patient meets the criteria set by the researchers. If the patients met the criteria set by the researchers, the researcher will approach the patient and introduce themselves, state their purpose and if they could be the subject for the study. If the patient agreed, the subject will be categorize to be under either control group which she will be listening to classical music or under experimental group in which she will be listening to either mellow music, opm ballad or soul through randomization with the use of gold fish bowl technique/ lottery. The researchers will use the gold fish bowl technique wherein they will be the one who will pick for the subject as to what type of music they will be listening to. Upon assignation, the researcher will then introduce to the subject the Numeric Pain Scale to be used in the study and the music that the subject would be listening to. In the numeric pain scale the subject will

rate/categorized the pain that they are feeling considering grade 1 to 3 as mild level of pain, 4-7 as moderate level of pain and 7-10 as the severe level of pain.

The data collection will take place on the labor room or in the delivery room if the institution does not have any labor room. Once the subjects had been categorized, prior to the introduction of music, the subject will be asked as to what level of pain they are experiencing. Inside the room, as the subjects uterus relaxed, the music will be introduced to them with the use of headphones attach to the mp3 player for them to focus on the music they are listening to. There are 3 researchers did the playing of music and the adjustment of the volume since they use 3 genres of music for the experimental group. The other researcher were the once who did the initial and final assessment of pain with the use of numeric pain scale. The music will be played for 3 hours as the active phase last for 3 hours. Initially the volume of the music is played at mid-level then it will be increase when the uterus contracts. Every hour then the researchers will assess the pain level of the subjects. After 3 hours of listening, the researchers will then compare which among the 3 genres of music is the most effective. The researchers will also note which among the said time frames have the fastest time of reducing the pain felt by the subjects.

Furthermore, once the researchers had completed the number of subjects needed for the study, the data gathered will be then interpreted to determine which among the genres was the most effective and which time was the fastest one in reducing labor pain.
