- MakaleYalnız künye2026The effect of self-selected soothing music on fistula puncture-related pain and comfort levels in hemodialysis patients: a randomized controlled, single-blind, single-center study
Sayilan, Samet; Sayilan, Aylin Aydin; Kulakac, Nursen
Purpose: To investigate the effect of music therapy on pain and comfort levels in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The study was completed with 30 experimental patients and a 30-member control group receiving treatment in the hemodialysis unit in a hospital in Western Türkiye. Experimental group patients were allowed to listen to a form of music selected by them for approximately 6 min prior to each procedure. No procedure was performed on the members of the control group. A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was applied in sessions 1, 6, and 12, and the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale in sessions 1 and 12. The independent sample t test and repeated-measures analysis of variance were employed in data analysis, and Cohen’s d in effect size calculations. Results: Hemodialysis Comfort Scale scores were significantly higher at the end of the study in the experimental group compared to the control group (SMD: 3.54, 95% CI 2.33–4.75) (p < 0.05). Mean VAS scores were significantly lower among the experimental group compared to the control group at the second (6th session) (SMD: 1.94, 95% CI 1.34–2.54) (p < 0.001) and third (12th session) evaluations (SMD: 3.2, 95% CI 1.2.65–3.75) (p < 0.001). VAS scores were also significantly lower in the experimental group at the third evaluation compared to the earlier evaluations (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The patients in the experimental group listened to a form of music of their choice before 12 hemodialysis sessions. Music was found to exhibit a positive effect on pain and discomfort in patients receiving hemodialysis. Trial registration: NCT05574595.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of a musical intervention during computed tomography (CT) on fear, anxiety and vital signs of children. Method: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial was conducted according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Studies (CONSORT) guidelines. The study sample included children aged between 6 and 10 years who met the inclusion criteria and underwent CT scan in the emergency department of a public hospital in eastern Turkey between 18 April and 20 May 2023. The research was completed with a total of 60 children, randomized to one of two groups. The nursing intervention of the study was playing music. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the Child and Family Information Form, the Children's Fear Scale (CFS), Children's Anxiety Meter-State (CAM-S) and the Vital Signs Monitoring Form (pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation). Ethical principles were followed in the research. Results: The level of fear, anxiety, pulse rate and respiratory rate of the children in the musical intervention group during CT scanning were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). No difference was found between the groups in terms of oxygen saturation (p < 0.05). Conclusion and Recommendations for Implementation: The results of this study suggest that musical intervention during CT scanning in children is effective in reducing the level of fear and anxiety and stabilizing vital signs. By using such nonpharmacologic methods, nurses can provide support to children and alleviate emotional difficulties during procedures. Trial Registration: NCT06086509. Summary: What is already known about this topic? Music therapy is recognized as an effective nonpharmacologic intervention to reduce fear and anxiety in paediatric patients undergoing medical procedures. Previous studies have shown that musical intervention during CT scans can calm children, potentially reducing the need for sedation and improving compliance. Knowledge gaps remain regarding the specific effects of music on physiological parameters like pulse and respiratory rates during paediatric CT scans. What this paper adds? This study demonstrates that musical intervention during CT scans significantly reduces fear and anxiety levels in children aged 6–10 years. The research findings show that music intervention can also stabilize vital signs, such as pulse and respiratory rates, during CT scans, suggesting a relaxed physiological state. The results support the idea that incorporating music into paediatric imaging procedures can enhance patient comfort and improve the quality of the imaging process by encouraging children to remain still. The implications of this paper: Incorporating music therapy into routine paediatric imaging procedures can reduce anxiety, improve patient cooperation and potentially reduce the need for sedatives. Future research could explore the optimal types of music, volume levels and delivery methods to maximize the calming effects on children during various medical procedures. Training programs for paediatric healthcare providers can include education on the benefits of nonpharmacologic interventions, like music therapy, to reduce anxiety and improve patient outcomes in clinical settings.

Yilmaz, Coşkun; Bostanci, Özgür; Eken, Özgür; Alkahtani, Rania; Aldhahi, Monira I.
Background: This study investigated the acute effects of inspiratory muscle warm-up (IWU) on vocal performance in singers. Proper vocal and respiratory warm-up can enhance vocal range, quality, and endurance. The aim was to determine whether IWU improves maximum phonation time and pitch range, contributing to better voice production efficiency (vocal efficiency) and reduced fatigue. Materials and methods: Singers were selected from the Samsun State Opera and the Ballet Directorate (n = 16). This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the acute effects. The singers in the control group (SC = 8) performed only one session of routine voice warm-up, and the experimental group (SE = 8) conducted an inspiratory muscle warm-up (IWU) of 2 sets, 30 times/set at 40% maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) in addition to routine voice warm-up. Subsequently, All participants were then required to perform pre- and post- pulmonary function tests, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), and voice recordings (note high pitch, note low pitch, high pitch durations and low pitch durations sustained with one breath, and maximum phonation duration). Results: All pulmonary function and muscle strength parameters improved in the SE group, with the highest increases in MIP (22.9%) and MEP (14.7%). No significant improvements were noted in the SC group (p > 0.05). The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion showed that the SE group experienced less difficulty with their vocal performance after IWU (-11.6%, p = 0.006), while no significant change was observed in the SC group (p = 0.316). Both warm-up methods used in the study significantly affected the frequencies of high-pitch sounds (SE = 17.8%, SC = 10.9%, p = 0.003); however, the frequency of low-pitch sounds was not significantly affected (p = 0.437). IWU significantly affected the high-pitched note duration (p < 0.001; 32.17%), low-pitched note duration (p < 0.001; 27.11%), and maximum phonation time (p < 0.001; 21%), while routine voice warm-up did not significantly affect any parameter (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The combination of IWU with the general body and voice warm-up protocol can acutely improve vocal performance in terms of maximum phonation time, phonation times of the highest and lowest pitched sounds in a single breath, and vocal range levels.

Purpose: Visual feedback and music while warm up may help elicit peak performance, but its effect during the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) in futsal players is unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of music and visual stimulus on WAnT performance in futsal players. Methods: The study included 17 young male futsal players (age, 21.53 +/- 1.32 years; height, 177.59 +/- 5.75 cm; 73.71 +/- 9.31 kg; BMI 23.342 +/- .47). The WAnT was administered using three distinct protocols: with music (M), without music (NM), and with music and visual feedback (MV) following a 10-min warm-up at 72-h intervals. After WAnT, the following parameters were evaluated: (a) peak power output: PPO (W), (b) relative peak power output: RPPO (W/kg), (c) mean power output: MPO (W), (d) relative mean power output: RMPO (W/kg), (e) fatigue index: FI (%), and (f) minimum power output MIPO (W). Results: MV indicated that futsal players' WAnT values, including PPO, RPPO, MPO, RMPO, and MIPO improved more than with other protocols (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between protocols for FI (%) WAnT values (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Listening to music and watching visual feedback while warm up before performing WAnT performance suggest to coaches and futsal players.
