Abstract


Objective: The purpose of the study is to explore the effect of music therapy on physical status (blood pressure, pulse and respiration) and anxiety level of pregnant women who were receiving interventions to keep their pregnancy, so that an evidenced-based care could be provided for those pregnant women.Methods: The subjects were 120 pregnant women who were hospitalized to keep their pregnancy and were receiving fetal heart rate monitoring. They were divided into two groups randomly, an experimental group who would be given music therapy besides routine care and a control group who would only be given routine care, but control group would be required to have a 30 minutes rest while the experimental group were receiving music therapy. The schedule for music therapy was 2 hours after lunch from the second hospitalized day, lasting 3 days and 30 minutes per time. Data collection: baseline data were collected in the admission day for all subjects including everyone’s name, sex, age, education, occupation, music interest, vital signs and anxiety level which was measured by SAS, fetal heart rate, fetal movement frequency and uterus contract frequency. Then in the following 3 days interventions were given. When the last music therapy finished, data would be collected for all subjects including everyone’s vital sign and anxiety level using the same instruments.Results: 1 .There were no significant differences in baseline data between experimental group and control group. 2. The vital signs of experimental group improved significantly after music therapy, and there was no significant change for vital signs of control group. 3.The results showed that the anxiety level of experiemtnal group was significantly lower than that of control group after music therapy.Conclusion: 1.Music therapy is helpful to stabilize the physical indexes such as pulse, respiration and blood pressure of pregnant women who need interventions to keep their pregnancies. 2.Music therapy is helpful to alleviate the anxiety level of pregnant women who need interventions to keep their pregnancies and helpful to balance their feelings. 3.
