Abstract

Aim: The aim was to (1) examine the feasibility aspect of a music intervention, (2) examine the association between music and pain, relaxation and well-being and (3) explore patients' experience of listening to music while waiting for acute surgery.

Design: The design was a mixed-method study.

Methods: Participants were offered a music pillow for 30 min. Before and after the intervention, participants reported their pain, relaxation and well-being using a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to10. The qualitative part was based on field observation followed by a semi-structured interview.

Results: The quantitative part included 30 participants. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a positive significant association between music and pain, relaxation and well-being (p < 0.001). The qualitative part included 15 participants. Two themes derived from the analysis: (1) feelings of physical and mental well-being and (2) a break from the acute preoperative context.

Patient or public contribution: No patient or public contribution.
