Abstract
Background: Labour is accompanied by intense and prolonged pain. For many years researchers are trying to find a safe, effective way of reducing the pain perception without hampering the fetal outcome. Aim: To find out the Effects of Music Therapy on Anxiety, Pain & Clinical Parameters among Primigravida women during first stage of labour. Methodology: Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to collect 30 primigravida women. Quasi experimental non equivalent pretest post test control group approach was adopted to assess labour pain and anxiety. Structured rating Anxiety Scale for Pregnancy to measure levels of anxiety and numeric rating scale for assessing pain was used for data collection. Results: The results show that, all the primigravida women were having pain and anxiety during first stage of labour. There was significant decrease in maternal pulse (t 9.01), respiration (t 5.93), and blood pressure (t 3.02) in the post intervention observation among the experimental group. Whereas for fetal heart rate there was no significant difference was found in pre intervention and post intervention observation. There was significant decrease in level of anxiety and pain in the experimental group in post intervention observation than the control group (t 4.92) & (t 3.83) respectively. Conclusion: The study showed that music therapy made a decrease in level of anxiety and pain of the primigravida women in labourand music therapy has a significant difference in the selected parameters as maternal pulse, respiration and systolic blood pressure. While caring pregnant mothers music may use for therapeutic intervention to reduce pain, anxiety, and maintaining vital signs.
