The Effect of Music Therapy on Pain and Anxiety

The Effect of Music Therapy on Anxiety and Pain in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Who Just Started Insulin Therapy

The effect of music therapy on pain and anxiety will be evaluated in individuals with diabetes who start insulin therapy for the first time. Music will be played during the training.

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing all over the world. Prevention of diabetes complications by providing glycemic control is the most important goal of diabetes treatment. Timely initiation of insulin therapy may be advantageous in ensuring glycemic control. Insulin therapy should be started without delay, especially in patients with Type 2 diabetes, in cases such as other diseases that intervene and increase the need for insulin, severe insulin resistance, surgery, pregnancy or progression of diabetes complications. However, most people with diabetes are reluctant to start insulin therapy, which may delay the start of treatment. In particular, he is reluctant to start insulin therapy for reasons such as the thought that insulin will limit his life, the concern that insulin is harmful, the expectation of pain due to injection, the worry that he will not be able to make insulin successfully, the fear of hypoglycemia, and that he will have to use insulin constantly. This situation can cause negative diabetes outcomes such as poor glycemic, diabetes complications, increased risk of death and disability. For this reason, sufficient time should be taken to address insulin-related concerns and persuaded to use insulin. In studies, music therapy is used as a supportive care intervention, as a noninvasive nursing intervention, music therapy is used to reduce pain and anxiety and increase compliance. Music, which is called the food of the soul, has been used by many civilizations in the treatment of physiological and psychological problems since ancient times. The use of music for therapeutic purposes since ancient civilizations has led to the emergence of the concept of music therapy. Music therapy has shown serious developments in the historical process, especially at the end of the 20th century. Experimentally, music therapy has been used, and it has been observed that scientific studies have been carried out to improve the physical and psychological conditions of the patients, especially during and after the procedure. As a result of the studies, it has been shown that music has positive effects on human health, affects human activities and has positive cognitive effects. However, the effect of conditions such as the type of music and the preference of the patient is also in question in achieving this effect. For this reason, it is important to determine the type of music specific to the person and the disease in terms of positive effect. When the literature is examined, it is seen that music therapy is used in different areas such as mental health, diabetic foot ulcer management, neuropathic pain, glucose control in individuals with diabetes and positive results are obtained. This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of insulin injection on reducing pain and anxiety in diabetic individuals who were started on insulin therapy for the first time.

When individuals with diabetes apply to diabetes education after their polyclinic examination, music therapy will be applied in addition to routine monitoring and applications throughout the education. Turkish Folk, Classical, Turkish Art and Sufi Music genres will be offered as options to the individuals in the intervention group and will be listened to throughout the process. During the training, the selected music will be played over the loudspeaker. Before the training, this group; Patient Description Form and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scale will be applied. After the training, Visual Analogue Scale and State Anxiety Scale will be applied.

The patient assigns a value between 0 and 10 for pain. On the scale, there is '0' no pain, '10' very severe pain levels. The patient marks his current state on this line. The length of the distance from the point where there is no pain to the point marked by the patient gives the pain score. 1-4 points: mild pain, 5-6 points: moderate pain, 7 points and above: severe pain.

The scale consists of two parts: State Anxiety Scale: It is a 4-point Likert-type scale consisting of 20 questions aiming to measure how individuals feel themselves at the moment. The scores obtained from the scale range from 20 to 80, with high scores indicating high anxiety and low scores indicating low anxiety levels. 0-19 points from the scale indicate that there is no anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild, 40-59 points moderate, 60-79 points indicate the level of severe anxiety, and a score above 60 indicates the need for professional help. Trait Anxiety Scale: It indicates how the person feels during the process, regardless of the situation and conditions. The scores obtained from the scale vary between 20 and 80, and a high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety. 0-30 indicates low anxiety, 31-49 indicates moderate anxiety, and 50 and higher indicates high anxiety.
