Brief Summary

The capacity of music to relieve pain has been used in many forms of medicines and has been proven to reduce anxiety, pain and need for analgesia in perioperative setting. However, music listening as an inexpensive and duplicable method has not been studied in the local context. The investigators hereby propose a prospective study to recruit women who undergo surgery to evaluate the effectiveness of music in pain relief and post-operative recovery in KKH; as well as the possibility of implementing music listening in perioperative setting. The patients will be offered to listen to one out of several pre-determined lists of music of different genres before, and after surgery. Data including pain score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score, EuroQol-Five Dimensions questionnaire-using Three Levels (EQ-5D-3L), vital signs, analgesia usage and patient satisfaction will be collected in the perioperative period. The collected data shall also be assessed if they are affected by the presence of music, duration of music listening, and the genre chosen by the patients. The investigators believe that this study could help determine the clinical relevance of music for pain relief in local setting, which potentially could reduce patient pain and anxiety caused by surgery. This in turn could allow music listening to be adopted as a non-invasive pain relief intervention in local healthcare settings and further improve patient outcome with lower cost and greater convenience as well as safety.

Study Arms (1)

Music

EXPERIMENTAL

The recruiter will give the patient an ipod with earphone, in which the ipod is equipped with saved playlists of different music genres. Patient will choose the desired playlists and listen to the music for about 30 minutes, seated in a quiet environment in pre-operative waiting area before her turn for the scheduled surgery. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and EQ-5D-3L questionnaire will be conducted during this period. Patient will be sent to the recovery room after the surgery, and will start the music listening again for 30 minutes once she is ready and feel comfortable to start the session. Pain score, HADS and EQ-5D-3L will be collected from the patient, as well as interview on her satisfaction and experience on the music listening.

Procedure: Music listening

Interventions

Music listening PROCEDURE

Patient is given an ipod with earphone and with saved playlists of different music genres. Music listening session will be given for 30 minutes before and after surgery. Questionnaires will be asked to fill in. All the earphones will be disinfected following the hospital's infection control guideline.
