NCT06199622

Brief Summary

In this study, the effect of music on arterial blood pressure, anxiety level, fetal heart rate and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women with gestational hypertension will be studied and it will be conducted as a randomized controlled intervention study to examine the relationships with each other. The sample group will consist of 90 pregnant women, 45 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group. Within the scope of the study, the data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI TX-I)', Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFA) created by the researcher, and the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of each patient will be measured with a calibrated sphygmomanometer (the same sphygmomanometer was used for each patient), fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal movements (FM) will be measured by Electronic Fetal Monitoring and Nonstress test (NST). Data will be analyzed using SPSS-25 package.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • vital signs

    Blood pressure (mm/Hg) of pregnant women will be measured with a calibrated sphygmomanometer.

    6 months

  • anxiety

    Anxiety will be measured with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI TX-I) before and after the intervention. The scale consists of 20 items on a 4-point Likert scale ((1) not at all, (2) a little, (3) a lot, (4) completely). The total score value obtained can vary between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.

    6 months

  • maternal fetal attachment

    Changes in mother-infant attachment will be measured with the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFA) before and after the intervention. Responses are scored from 1-5, with 5 being the most positive statement. The higher the score, the higher the attachment.

    6 months

  • Fetal heart rate

    Nonstress test (NST) will be performed with Electronic Fetal Monitoring for an average of 20 minutes and fetal heart rate (beats per minute) will be recorded.

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Pregnant women in the intervention group will listen to 20 minutes of music consisting of classical western music - Beethoven moonlight sonata -, classical Turkish music - Nihavend and Buselik Maqam - for three days with a MP3 player with a good sound system and headphones.

Other: music

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Pregnant women in the control group did not receive 20 minutes of music for three days and routine care will continue.
