Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of music on nursing students' skills, anxiety, self-confidence perception, and vital signs.
Design: Single-blinded study with parallel groups. Setting: Faculty of Nursing. Participants: Sixty first-year students who took the Nursing Fundamentals course were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. Methods: Data were collected using the Student Information Form, Subjective Self-Confidence Assessment Tool, and State Anxiety Scale from April 6 to 11, 2022. The students in the intervention group listened to music for 15 min before and during the peripheral intravenous catheter placement skill practice, while no intervention was applied in the control group.
