The effects of music and relaxation techniques on pain and anxiety of women undergoing in-office gynecological procedures
Description:
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of music and relaxation techniques on pain and anxiety of gynecology patients undergoing colposcopy, punch biopsy, or cryosurgery. Dependent variables measured for control and experimental subjects were pulse rate, respiratory rate, behavioral observations, and self reports of pain and anxiety during and twenty-four hours following the procedure. Graphic analysis of the data revealed differences in scores between groups which were then statistically analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U test. The results of the study showed a significantly higher respiratory rate (U = 1.5, n$\sb1$ = 3, n$\sb2$ = 5, $\alpha$ =.05) and behavioral observation score (U = 2.5, n$\sb1$ = 4, $\alpha$ =.05) for the control group during...
The effects of music versus guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation versus guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation with music on the pulse rate and peripheral finger temperature of Hemodialysis patients undergoing treatment
Description:
The experimental design of the study utilized each subject as his or her own control. Each subject listened to three stimuli. The subjects' pulse rate and peripheral finger temperature were measured immediately prior to the onset of each... The null hypotheses stated: H$\sb0$--There will be no statistically significant decrease between the beginning and ending pulse rates of the participants for any of the three conditions and H2$\sb0$--There will be no statistically...
