About

Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the effect of music therapy on the pain, anxiety, and comfort levels of patients who underwent bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.

Methods: This research was conducted as a randomized controlled study in the hematology polyclinic of a university hospital. Music therapy will used with the intervention group throughout the procedure. During data evaluation, paired t-test, independent t-test and effect size will used. The sample group was calculated based on the sample groups of other studies in the literature (Çelebi et al., 2020; Özdemir et al., 2019). According to the preliminary power analysis results using the G.Power 3.1.9 program, the sample size was calculated at 80% power, at medium effect size at 5% alpha value. According to the analysis results, the sample size per group was calculated as 30. However, since there was 10% probability that some patients may drop, the sample size for the study was recalculated as 66 (Experimental Group: 33, Control Group: 33).The patients will informed about using music. In addition, it will explained that they could adjust the sound levels and that they should report when they are disturbed by the tone. Music continued throughout the process. Communication with the patient will maintained, and symptoms such as discomfort, anxiety were observed throughout the procedure. The music player will switched off after the procedure was completed. The patients will asked whether they had any discomfort while the music played. TThe music therapy will last an average of 30 minutes. After completing the procedures, the patient's pain, comfort, and anxiety levels were re-evaluated using VAS and STAI.

The patients were asked about the type of music they wanted to listen to. Especially in the last meta-analyses, it was determined that listening to the music that patients chose was more effective (Witten 2020). For this reason, after the intervention group is asked about the music they want to listen to, the music they want will be played from the music application.
