Background
Bronchoscopy is a common medical procedure used to examine the lungs, but it can cause anxiety and discomfort for patients. This study aimed to see if playing music during the procedure could help reduce anxiety levels.
Methods
We conducted a study in two university hospitals with 136 patients. They were divided into two groups: one group listened to classic Tunisian music during bronchoscopy, while the other group did not have music. We measured anxiety and comfort levels using specific scales and also monitored vital signs and side effects.
Results
Our findings showed that anxiety levels before and after the procedure were similar in both groups. Music did not significantly reduce anxiety. However, patients who listened to music reported feeling more comfortable during the procedure.
Conclusion
While music did not lower anxiety levels, it did improve the comfort of patients undergoing bronchoscopy. This suggests that playing music could be a simple way to enhance patient experience during this procedure.
Opportunities for Clinics
Based on our findings, clinics can:
- Implement music during bronchoscopy to improve patient comfort.
- Monitor patient feedback to enhance the overall experience.
Measurable Outcomes
Clinics should aim to:
- Track patient comfort levels before and after the procedure.
- Assess any changes in side effects or vital signs.
