| Aims: Heart surgery is an invasive procedure which results in more anxiety, stress a nd some complication among the patients. Nurses should choose measures to reduce anxiety and stress for these patients. Studies have suggested that music can decrease anxiety in hospitalized patients. This study focused on the music listening and intensive care unit (ICU) visits effects for the control of anxiety, stress, and depression levels of patients who were candidates for heart surgeries. Methods: In a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design, 150 patients were randomly assigned to either control or experimental groups. Experimental groups received music listening or a visit of ICU program . Levels of variables measured before and after interventions, by using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results: The sample was consisted of 57% males and 43% females. Before intervention there were no significance differences ( p>0.05 ) of the scores means of DAS-21. But, after interventions, the scores means of anxiety were 4.25 ± 2.60 (music group), 4.35 ± 2.91 (ICU visits), and 7.12 ± 3.45 (control group). Also the scores means of stress were 8.94 ± 3.28, 8.673 ± 3.57, and 13.59 ± 4.32, respectively. Additionally, the scores means of depression in the music group were 2.05 ± 1.87 and in the ICU visits group was 2.13 ± 1.28, meanwhile it was 3.27 ± 2.65 at the control group. Conclusions: Listening to music or ICU visits program may reduce the anxiety, stress, and depression level of patients who undergoing to the heart surgeries, therefore may be useful to use them as a nursing care intervention in the patients. |
