About

This study aims to evaluate the effect of music played for women who undergo cesarean delivery on their early-stage pain, comfort, and mother-infant bonding levels. The study was conducted with 62 women who had cesarean deliveries and were hospitalized in the Obstetrics Unit of Bilecik Training and Research Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Music in the Acemaşiran mode was played for 20 minutes twice, at the 8th and 16th postpartum hours for the experimental group, while the control group received routine midwifery/nursing care practices provided in the clinic after cesarean delivery. The study is designed to assess whether listening to music after cesarean delivery influences postoperative pain, comfort, and mother-infant bonding levels.

Full description

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of music played for women undergoing cesarean section on early-stage pain, comfort, and mother-infant bonding. The study included a total of 62 women who had cesarean deliveries and were admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Bilecik Training and Research Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=31) and a control group (n=31).

Data are collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Postpartum Comfort Scale (PPCS), and Mother-Infant Attachment Scale (MBIS). The data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS V23 and JAMOVI V2.3.21 software.

The study is designed to compare the effects of listening to music in the Acemaşiran mode with standard postpartum care after cesarean delivery. The intervention involves listening to music for 20 minutes at the 8th and 16th postpartum hours in the experimental group, while the control group receives routine midwifery/nursing care practices.

The following hypotheses will be tested:

H1-a: Listening to music affects the pain levels of women after cesarean delivery.

H1-b: Listening to music affects the comfort levels of women after cesarean delivery.

H1-c: Listening to music affects the physical comfort levels of women after cesarean delivery.

H1-d: Listening to music affects the sociocultural comfort levels of women after cesarean delivery.

H1-e: Listening to music affects the psychospiritual comfort levels of women after cesarean delivery.

H1-f: Listening to music affects the mother-infant bonding relationship of women after cesarean delivery.
