Pengaruh Terapi Musik Terhadap Skala Nyeri Pasien Paska Operasi Mayor di RS. Myria Palembang

patients experience postoperative pain. Inadequate postoperative pain
management causes many patients to have complications. Music therapy as a nonpharmacological
management can help reduce pain by increasing endorphins
release to inhibit pain’s transmission.
Purpose : This study aims to determine effect of music therapy on post major
surgery patient’s pain scale.
Method : This study used quasi experimental method with non equivalent control
group design on 50 respondents by purposive sampling which is divided into two
groups. Respondents in the intervention group received music therapy for 15
minutes while the control group received standard therapy. The pretest and
posttest pain scales of both study groups were measured using the Numeric Rating
Scale. The data analysis of this research was conducted using Pearson test, t-test,
and simple linear regression test.
Result : Majority of respondents were young adults, female, and had no surgery
history. Significant differences occurred between scale of pretest pain
(5.84±0.987) and posttest (4.04±0.735) intervention group (p=0.000). Significant
differences (p=0.000) also occurred on intervention group posttest pain scale
(4.04±0.735) and control (5±0.764). Significant correlations occurred between
scale of posttest pain and music therapy (r=-0.547;p=0,000) whereas no
significant correlation occurred in respondents characteristics. Music therapy
contributed significantly (p=0,000) of 68.6% in relieving postoperative pain with
pain reduction of one to two pain scales from initial pain scale (B=-1.418).
Conclusion : Music therapy has an effect on reducing pain scale so it’s advisable
to used in patients post major surgery.
