Considering the cost and complications of the majority of the chemical medicines and the harmlessness of music
therapy, this study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of music therapy on the anxiety of patients before
elective general surgery. The present randomized double-blind clinical trial study was conducted at Sanandaj Health
Centers in 2017. Initially, 88 patients undergoing general surgery, who had met the inclusion criteria, were selected
through purposeful sampling method. Then, based on randomized blocking, 44 samples were assigned to each of the
two intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, music was played for 20 minutes for each patient.
There was no intervention in the control group. The anxiety level of patients in two groups was measured by
standard Beck questionnaire before and after intervention. Collected data was analyzed by SPSS 22 using Chi-square,
Independent T-test and paired T-test. The difference in mean of anxiety was not significant in two groups of music
therapy and control before the study (p> 0.05). The mean and standard deviation of anxiety was 14.02 ± 4.59 in the
control group and 11.43 ± 4.00 in the music therapy group. The difference in mean of anxiety was significant between
two groups after the intervention (p <0.05). According to the results of the present study, as an inexpensive and
uncomplicated method, music therapy can be effective to decrease the anxiety of patients before surgery.
