Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music therapy on anxiety, stress and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women during a transvaginal ultrasound.
Methods: This study was a nonequivalent control group nonsynchronized design. Pregnant women (n =232) were assigned to experimental (n= 117) and control (n =116) groups respectively. The data were collected from August 2 to 27, 2010. The experimental group received general prenatal care and single 30-minute session of music therapy, while the control group received only general prenatal care. Anxiety, stress, and maternal-fetal attachment was assessed using three self-report measures by State scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (1976), Pregnant women¡¯s stress scale of Ahn (1984) and Cranley¡¯s (1981) maternal-fetal attachment scale.
Results: The music therapy group showed statistically significant decrease in anxiety compared to control group but no significant difference was identified in stress and maternal-fetal attachment.
Conclusions: The finding provides evidence for use of nursing intervention in prenatal care unit to reduce pregnant women¡¯s anxiety. Further research is necessary to test the benefits of music therapy with different frequency and duration.
