Abstract
To evaluate the effect of music on the management of anxiety and stress in patients awaiting coronary transluminal angioplasty.
A double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines. The study was carried out at the hemodynamics unit of the Onofre Lopes University Hospital from August to December 2024, with 52 participants equally divided into an intervention and a control group. Both groups were fitted with headphones before the procedure, but only patients in the intervention group were exposed to music. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical data form, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Lipp's Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults.
Although there were no significant reductions in the intergroup analysis, the intragroup analysis showed that music influenced a reduction in anxiety and heart rate in the intervention group. However, there was no evidence of an effect of music on stress.
No significant reductions were identified in the levels of anxiety and stress of the participants in this research. It is also suggested that the use of headphones without music may have a relaxing effect by muffling external sounds, which possibly masked relevant statistical differences.
