EFFECT OF MUSIC MEDICINE ON ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN CORONARY ARTERY BY PASS GRAFT SURGERY PATIENTS: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Background: The study was done to see the effect of music medicine on anxiety and depression in coronary artery by pass graft surgery patients. Two groups Experimental and Control were taken. The study concludes that music medicine is an effective non pharmacological measure in reducing anxiety and depression along with physiological measures in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Objectives: To compare the effects of music medicine between experimental & control group on anxiety & depression. To find the effect of music medicine on Heart rate (HR), Blood pressure (BP), Respiratory rate (RR). Material and Methods: Subjects enrolled in the study were assigned to 2 groups, 35 in each group (Experimental group receiving music medicine with standard care in form of chest physiotherapy & Control group with standard care alone, using block randomization. The total duration of intervention for the study per patient was 1 month. Results: A total of 69 subjects were recruited for this study. Subjects in both the groups had a mean age of 57.72 ? 9.26 years. Chi square (x2) test was used to evaluate demographic data like, sex, marital status, occupation, education, comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, smoking,alcohol, NYHA Grade of exertion, life style, & Student unpaired ?t? test for age, number of diseased vessel & ejection fraction. Both the groups were matched and there was no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: The study concludes that music medicine is an effective non pharmacological measure in reducing anxiety and depression along with physiological measures in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
