About this study

The sample of the experimental study consisted of 120 pregnant women (music: 40, training: 40, control: 40). The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Surgical Fear Questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. After the training and listening to music applications, statistically significant differences were found between the music, training, and the control groups in terms of the short-term, long-term sub-scale scores and the overall score of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire, and the anxiety sub-scale scores of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (p < .05). Listening to music before the cesarean section was effective in reducing women's short-term and general surgical fears, and the training was also effective in reducing their short-term, long-term, and general surgical fears and anxiety levels.
