A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Music Therapy in Reducing the Level of Anxiety among Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Admitted in the Coronary Care Unit of Pushpagiri Heart Institute at Kerala

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, t...

520 |a 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
