Özet

Purpose: To investigate the effect of two different types of music on anxiety, nausea, and satisfaction levels in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (CT) for the first time. Methods: The study was conducted as a single-blind, pre-test, post-test, three-group randomized controlled trial in an outpatient CT unit between August 2022 and February 2023. A simple (computer-based) and stratified (age and gender) randomization method was used to assign 75 patients to the relaxing music group (RMG), Turkish classical music group (TCMG), and control group (CG) (n = 25 each). The primary outcome was the change in anxiety levels measured by Spielberger’s State Anxiety Inventory before (T0) and after (T1) CT session. Secondary outcomes were the change in the severity of nausea from T0 to T1 and the level of satisfaction at T1. Results: The groups were similar in terms of baseline sociodemographic and health-related characteristics. Anxiety levels were lower than the baseline in RMG and TCMG in comparison to CG, and repeated measures analysis showed a significant group × time interaction (p = 0.001, F = 210.221, ? 2 = 0.745). Nausea severity increased from T0 to T1 for CG but decreased for RMG and TCMG with a significant group × time interaction (p = 0.001, F = 100.785, ? 2 = 0.583). The satisfaction level was significantly higher in TCMG than in CG and RMG (8.64 ± 0.95 vs. 7.88 ± 0.72, and 7.00 ± 0.70, respectively). Conclusion: Music may be an effective non-pharmacologic option to relieve patients’ anxiety and nausea during first-time CT. Larger, multicenter studies evaluating the long-term effect of music are needed to confirm these findings.
