Experimental group

Description:

Support was received from the Turkish Music Research and Promotion Group (TÜMATA) in choosing the music. To increase attention before and during the PIVC catheter placement skill practice in the intervention group, "Acemaşiran" music was played, which increases the sense of concentration and creativity. To reduce anxiety, "Pentatonic melodies" were played, which gave self-confidence and determination. The music was played from a computer in the vocational skills laboratory using a loudspeaker. During the entire skill practice, the students continued to listen to the music in a light tone.
