Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Music
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: music

Detailed Description

Design: Single-blinded study with parallel groups. Setting: Faculty of Nursing. Participants: Sixty first-year students who took the Nursing Fundamentals course were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups.

Methods: Data were collected using the Student Information Form, Subjective Self-Confidence Assessment Tool, and State Anxiety Scale from April 6 to 11, 2022. The students in the intervention group listened to music for 15 min before and during the peripheral intravenous catheter placement skill practice, while no intervention was applied in the control group.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: music; Support was received from the Turkish Music Research and Promotion Group (TÜMATA) in choosing the music. To increase attention before and during the PIVC catheter placement skill practice in the intervention group, "Acemaşiran" music was played, which increases the sense of concentration and creativity. To reduce anxiety, "Pentatonic melodies" were played, which gave self-confidence and determination. The music was played from a computer in the vocational skills laboratory using a loudspeaker. During the entire skill practice, the students continued to listen to the music in a light tone.	Other: music; The students in the intervention group listened to music for 15 min before and during the peripheral intravenous catheter placement skill practice.
No Intervention: control; The students in the control group were given standard skills laboratory training without any intervention
