| Özet: | Background: Anxiety has been correlated to the development of cardiac disease. Anxiety stimulates
the sympathetic nervous system. It promotes the production of epinephrine and nor epinephrine. The
stimulation increase the heart rates and intensifying the force of myocardial contraction. Therefore, the
demand for oxygen greatly increases. Also, anxiety induced mechanisms can cause elevated lipid level
and alteration in blood coagulation, which can lead to atherogenesis.
Method: The research approach and design adopted for the study was experimental design. The
sample consists of patient with coronary artery disease admi�ed in coronary care unit. Convenience
sampling technique was used. The data was collected using demographic profile, and modified
Hamilton anxiety of the patient with coronary artery disease.
Results: Majority of the samples, both in experimental and control group, were having moderate
anxiety level (90%) before administering the music therapy. The three main symptoms of anxiety
among the experimental and control group before administering the music therapy were somatic
muscular (60%,65%), somatic sensory (65%,75%) and insomnia (60%,45%). Majority of the samples in
the experimental group (90%) were having mild anxiety level after administering the music therapy
where as in control group only 35% of samples were having mild anxiety level. When comparing
with control group the three main symptoms of anxiety had reduced in the experimental group after
administering music therapy. They were insomnia, autonomic symptoms and anxious behavior of the
patient during interview. The study findings revealed that 65% of samples had only mild autonomic
symptoms, 80% of samples had only mild sleep disturbance and 90% samples had improvement in
their anxious behavior during interview after administering the music therapy. The effectiveness of
music therapy was statistically tested b paired‘t’ value and the result were found to be significant at
p<0.001 level. Thus the study findings support the hypothesis.
Conclusion: The result of the study revealed that music therapy is a simple, safe and effective method
for reducing anxiety among the patient with coronary artery disease |
