About

Non-stress testing (NST) is one of the most commonly used methods to assess fetal health in the prenatal period because it is an easily interpreted, non-invasive, painless, and short-term diagnostic method. Although NST is a non-invasive and painless diagnostic method, pregnant women may feel anxiety during the procedure.

It is supported by studies that listening to music causes relaxation and reducing anxiety. Therefore, the use of music as a non-pharmacological practice will increase the quality of care of individuals. There are many studies suggesting that music reduces anxiety in low-risk pregnancies during NST application. Different instruments such as ney, rebab, kopuz, dombra are used in Turkish music. In particular, ney has come to the fore in music therapy. The ney, which has different types in history, is an instrument that is closest to the human voice. In a compilation about the music used in music therapy in Turkey, it was stated that there are many social and health studies made with the sound of ney. Determining the effect of music on NST and anxiety in high-risk pregnant women will contribute to the literature.
