The Effect of Passive Music Therapy and Foot Massage

Summary

Patients hospitalized in tertiary intensive care units are connected to mechanical ventilators due to multiorgan failure, chronic diseases, respiratory failure, etc. Endotracheal aspiration is then necessary to maintain respiratory patency. However, patients feel a lot of pain during this application. Pharmacological methods for pain relief are mostly used in intensive care units. These methods can have many complications. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of passive music therapy and foot massage, which are non-pharmacological methods, on hemodynamic status in relieving pain and anxiety that may develop due to this. Reducing the use of pharmacological methods and switching to non-pharmacological methods in pain relief will increase the quality of patient care and recovery results.

This research will be conducted as a prospective, randomized controlled, single-blind, experimental. In the study, passive music therapy will be applied to one of the intervention groups and foot massage will be applied to the other in the tracheal aspiration process, and no application will be made to the control group. Passive music therapy and foot massage will be applied for 30 minutes during the tracheal aspiration procedure. Evaluation will be made before, during and after the application.

When the literature is examined, there are few studies examining the effect of foot massage in intensive care patients, but no studies evaluating the effect of foot massage during the aspiration procedure have been found. For this reason, it is thought that passive music therapy and foot massage applied in the aspiration process in intensive care patients will reduce the level of pain and anxiety, thus positively affecting the hemodynamic status of the patient, increasing the comfort of the patient and improving the results of nursing care. Thus, it is planned to bring an original study that has not been done on the subject to the literature.

Interventions

passive music therapy

30 minutes before tracheal aspiration to intubated patients connected to mechanical ventilator treated in the 3rd step intensive care unit. and music between 60-74 dB will be played via headphones and MP3 player during aspiration (Şahin, 2018). This music is a 30-minute Hüseyni makam mp3 music recording . Hüseyni makam is effective in the morning and at dawn, and its effect is high between morning and noon. For this reason, passive music therapy practice in the research will be done by the researcher in the morning and afternoon. This maqam has beauty, benevolence, silence, comfort, a sense of peace and a refreshing feature. It has positive effects on the liver, heart, internal organs and spirit and unites with nature.

OTHER

foot massage

Massage will be applied by the researcher in the research. Towel, sponge, etc. under the foot to be worked on. The foot will be held at a 45 degree angle While applying, 1-2 drops of liquid Vaseline will be used to moisten the hand. A total of 30 minutes of foot massage will be made for each individual, 15 minutes per foot. Foot massage will start 30 minutes before the start of aspiration and massage will continue throughout the aspiration period. Since the speed of the massage movements and the number of repetitions should be at the normal frequency, the massage will be done at a speed that does not disturb the individual, has a non-stimulating and calming effect and does not tire the practitioner. In the massage, efflorescence (stroking), petrissage and friction (circular rubbing) movements that support circulation and relax the tissues will be used. Evaluations will be made before the foot massage, at the end of the foot massage and 30 minutes after the foot massage.
