Abstract
Background The aim was to evaluate the effects of music on patients’ anxiety and satisfaction after undergoing dialysis access procedures under moderate sedation. Methods Patients (n = 30) undergoing moderate sedation for dialysis access procedures were evaluated at a single institution. Each patient filled out a survey preoperatively and postoperatively using the short form State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6). Patient-selected music was provided by using a MP3 player with noise canceling headphones. Results Postoperatively, 77% of patients perceived music intervention as very or extremely helpful in decreasing anxiety during the procedure. Further, 93% of patients were somewhat or very satisfied with their procedure. The average pain rating was 3.1 on a scale of 0-10, in which 70% of patients had no to mild pain and 30% of patients rated moderate to severe pain. In comparison to prior procedures without music, 63% of patients rated better experience with the music intervention, 37% rated a similar experience, and 3.7% rated having a worse experience. Approximately, 93% of patients were willing to repeat procedure with music and would recommend it to other patients. Preoperative anxiety average score was 35.6 ± 13 and was reduced postoperatively to 28.9 ± 12.9 ( P = .006). Preoperatively, 23% of patients rated high anxiety and postoperatively only 6.7% of patients rated high anxiety ( P = .016). Conclusion Music is an easy, feasible, inexpensive intervention that may reduce patients’ anxiety and improve satisfaction during moderate sedation procedures and in the postoperative period.
