Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examines the effect of music during computed tomography in children. This study, conducted on a total of 60 children, was divided into two groups: the music group and the control group. According to the research results; showed that music reduces fear and anxiety levels in children and stabilizes vital signs (pulse and respiratory rate) during a tomography scan.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim: This research was conducted to determine the effect of music played during computerized tomography (CT) imaging in children on fear, anxiety and vital signs.

Method: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial was conducted with Consolidated Standards of Reporting Studies (CONSORT) guidelines. The sample includes children aged 5-10 years who had CT scans in the emergency department of a public hospital in eastern Turkey between April 18 and May 20, 2023 and met the inclusion criteria for the study. The research was completed with a total of 60 children, divided evenly into one of two groups. The nursing intervention of the research is to listen to music. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the Child and Family Information Form, the Child Fear Scale, the State Anxiety Scale for Children, and the Vital Signs Monitoring Form (pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation). Ethical principles were followed in the research.

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors

Blindness method was used to avoid bias in this study. The researcher, who evaluated the children's anxiety and fear levels during and after the tomography in order to prevent selection bias, did not know which group the children and their families were in.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

control group

Questionnaires and scales were filled out by the researcher five minutes before the CT scan. Routine CT scans were performed on the control group without listening to music by wearing a Bluetooth headset. The scales were repeated five minutes after the CT scan.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

music group

Questionnaires and scales were filled out by the researcher five minutes before the CT scan. Just before the CT scan began, the children in the music group were started to listen to "Lullaby K 350" music by inserting a Bluetooth headset into their ears. If the process took longer, the music was played again. Additionally, the Bluetooth headset was properly disinfected before each use to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among patients.
