Keywords:
Pain, music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats, the emergency departmentAbstract
This study is a quasi-experimental research. The purpose was to study effects of music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats on the pain reduction of 70 patients in the emergency department, aged 20-81 years old, divided into a control group and an experimental group, each group of 35 people. The control group received nursing care to reduce pain as usual. The experimental group received a combination of music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats 1 time, 30 minutes each time along with normal treatment. The instrument used for assessing included personal information questionnaires, the pain score, the satisfaction assessment form for the use of the music set and the music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats 1 set. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test statistics, Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that 1) The experimental group after using the music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats had significantly lower pain scores than before using music therapy. (p<.01) and 2) the intervention group receiving the music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats had significantly lower pain scores than the control group (p<.01). The satisfaction scores for using the music set were rated highly ( = 4.59, S.D.= 0.47). Therefore, the use of the music embedded with binaural and superimposed beats can be used in addition to the normal nursing care for reduce pain and increase comfort in patients in emergency department.
