The aim of the study was to examine the effect of two different interventions (music therapy and white noise listening) on anxiety, fear and vital signs in elderly patients undergoing colonoscopy. The study was a double-blind, pre-test and post-test
Colonoscopy patients experience high levels of fear and anxiety due to the procedure. Fear and anxiety can activate the patient's autonomic nervous system, leading to increased sweating, increased heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate, and procedure-related complications. Reducing fear and anxiety and relaxing the patient not only prevents potential harm to the patient due to the procedure, but also facilitates the work of the healthcare team performing the procedure and ensures accurate results. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the effects of music therapy and white noise listening on the fear, anxiety and vital signs of patients undergoing colonoscopy.
