Live Music in the Intensive Care Unit

연구 개요

The goal of this quasi-experimental pre- post test study is to test a patient-tailored live music intervention's effect on stress and pain reduction in adult, critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does live music reduce stress and pain in adult intensive care patients? In the pre-post test design, the patients will be their own control. There will be no randomisation. Researchers will compare measurements of heartrate, respiration rate, heartrate variability, blood pressure and pain before and after the live music intervention to see if live music effects these vital parameters. Participants will listen to live music in their room in the intensive care unit for 5 to 15 minutes.
