Non Stress Test and Music Performance

Today, many methods are used in the evaluation of intrauterine fetal well-being. Non-stress test (NST) method is mostly used in the non-invasive evaluation of fetal well-being during pregnancy and labor. NST is a procedure in which fetal heart sounds are recorded and the relationship between fetal movements and fetal heart beat is monitored.3 Various methods are used to minimize the psychological effects that occur during pregnancy. Among these methods, it has been seen in the studies in the literature that music, which is a non-pharmacological method, has a positive effect on the pregnant woman and the fetus. It is easy and enjoyable to listen to music during the routine non-stress test process. However, there are not enough studies to prove the effect of music.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the music concert applied during the nonstress test procedure on the health of the fetus, the anxiety level of the pregnant woman and blood pressure.

Primary outcomes

Evaluation of the Effect of Music Played During the Non-Stress Test on Fetal Health, Anxiety Level of the Pregnant and Blood Pressure

Time frame: Day 1

The research is an experimentally planned randomized controlled trial.The sample of the study consists of pregnant women (69 experimental group, 68 control group) between 32nd and 41st weeks. The pregnant women were evaluated with the state anxiety scale. The scale consists of 20 items in total. Scoring is calculated by subtracting the total weighted score for the reverse statements from the total weighted score for the direct statements. A predetermined invariant value is added to this obtained number.This value is 50 for the state anxiety scale. The most recent value is the individual's anxiety score. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it indicates that the level of anxiety increases. 0-19 point no anxiety, 20-39 points mild anxiety, 40-59 points moderate anxiety, 60-79 points severe anxiety, 80 points severe anxiety.
