Abstract


A quantitative, evaluative, pre experimental one group pre test – post test design to evaluate the effect of therapeutic music on anxiety level of cancer patients during chemotherapy, was conducted in July 2018 on 100 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy through Non Probability, Convenience Sampling Technique. Data was collected through a standardised tool “Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)” and “Katherine Kolcaba Comfort Theory” was adopted as conceptual framework. Reliability for BAI was determined by Cronbach’s alpha test using inter rater method which was 0.81 and was found to be good. Results: The major findings of the study showed that before the administration of therapeutic music, maximum (42%) cancer patients had mild to moderate anxiety level during chemotherapy which remarkably decreased in intensity to 2% after the administration of therapeutic music while 98% cancer patients had normal to minimal anxiety level after the administration of therapeutic music (Fig 1). Hence, there was a significant difference in the anxiety level of the cancer patients, rejecting the null hypothesis at p < 0.01. There was a significant association between “gender, education level and anxiety level” at p < 0.05, accepting alternate hypothesis at 95% of confidence level. The satisfaction feedback score indicated that maximum 80% cancer patients had “good” satisfaction level related to administration of therapeutic music during chemotherapy, followed by only 2% who were “unsatisfied”. Conclusion: The study concluded that therapeutic music was effective in reducing the anxiety level of the cancer patients during chemotherapy.
