Sponsored by Mersin University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Music therapy is a non-invasive method with no side effects and can be administered independently by a nurse. Nevertheless, it should be noted that music therapy can be discontinued if any adverse effects are experienced by patients during the research process. After completing the music listening session, eye masks and earplugs, which are effective in reducing sleep problems in patients, will be applied from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
All patients will be asked to complete the DAÖ at 10:00 PM and 10:30 PM. The RCUÖ will be requested to be completed by all patients between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM the following morning.
Control Group: Patients in the control group will receive routine treatment and care in the coronary care unit (CCU). Patients presenting with MI are admitted to the coronary care unit from the emergency department and the cardiology outpatient clinic. In patients admitted to the CCU, preparations are made for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and admission procedures by evaluating electrocardiography (ECG), blood parameters (CK-MB and troponin), and pain symptoms. These preparations include obtaining the patient's medical history and necessary consent, establishing an intravenous line, measuring and monitoring vital signs, and recording the ECG and adding it to the file. In patients undergoing PCI, the femoral sheath is not removed for four hours due to the heparin infusion administered. After the femoral sheath is removed by the physician, pressure dressing is applied to the procedure site and a sandbag is placed to control bleeding for six hours. During this time, patients are placed in a supine position. Depending on the clinical condition and hematological values of the patients, they are monitored in the coronary care unit for one or two days and then transferred to the cardiology clinic.
In the coronary care unit, in order to control patients' anxiety levels or improve their sleep quality, after care, treatment, and daily blood sampling procedures are completed, lighting is reduced after midnight, except in emergencies, to facilitate patients' transition to sleep. However, eye masks or earplugs are not routinely used for patients.
Study Group: In addition to the clinic's routine treatment and care practices, patients in the study group will listen to music for 30 minutes at 10:00 p.m. on their first night in the coronary care unit using wireless Bluetooth headphones (JBL TUNE 520BT, Harman International Industries, USA) provided by the researcher (MY). The volume of the music will be adjusted according to the patient's preference. Patients in the study will listen to the CD "Music and Health Series: Tümata-Receptive \& Meditative Uşşak Mode" prepared by the Turkish Music Research and Promotion Association (TÜMATA), which is said to provide calmness and relaxation and has previously been shown to be effective in reducing preoperative anxiety. The Uşşak mode has a tempo of 60-80 beats per minute and provides relaxation by calming the heart. The CD used contains an instrumental piece without lyrics in the Uşşak mode, which fits the definition of "sedative music". The piece features improvisation based on rhythm and the sound of water, performed with the ney, rebab, çeng, ud, dombra, and rubab. In addition to evoking a sense of peace and tranquility, the Uşşak mode supports feelings of self-confidence and determination thanks to its hidden pentatonic structure . The Uşşak mode is reported to give individuals a desire to laugh, a feeling of relaxation, joy, strength, and heroism; it is also reported to be beneficial for sleep and rest processes. Its effect is said to be particularly pronounced from dawn to noon, at sunset, and on Thursdays; it is also said to be beneficial in alleviating pain associated with heart and foot disorders and gout. Furthermore, it is known as one of the oldest modes used to express deep love and mystical feelings .

Participants' anxiety levels
In this study, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) developed by Spielberger and colleagues will be used to measure feelings experienced at the moment. The adaptation of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory into Turkish, as well as its validity and reliability studies, were conducted by Öner and Le Comte. The scale consists of the SSI, which determines how an individual feels at a particular moment and under specific conditions, and the State Anxiety Scale (SAS), which determines how an individual feels regardless of their current situation and conditions. State anxiety is the fear felt by an individual due to stressful situations they are in and is an indicator of the individual's feelings of tension and unease . The response options in the SSI are grouped into four classes: (1) Not at all, (2) A little, (3) Very much, and (4) Completely. There are two types of statements in the SAD. These are (1) direct or straightforward and (2) reverse statements.
Time frame: Within the State Anxiety Scale framework, the study group will receive 30 minutes of music at 22:00 on their first night in the Coronary Intensive Care Unit, alongside routine care, via wireless Bluetooth headphones under researcher supervision.
Sleep Quality
In this study, the RCUÖ , developed by Richards in 1987, will be used to measure the sleep quality of patients during their first night in the coronary care unit. The scale consists of 6 items that assess the depth of nighttime sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, the frequency of waking up, the time spent awake after waking up, the quality of sleep, and the noise level in the environment. Each item is evaluated using the visual analog scale technique, on a scale from 0 to 100. On the scale, scores between "0-25" indicate very poor sleep, while scores between "76-100" indicate very good sleep. The sixth item on the scale, which assesses environmental noise, is excluded from the total score assessment, and the total scale score is calculated based on the five items. As the scale score increases, patients' sleep quality improves. The Cronbach α value of the original scale was found to be 0.82, and the Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Karaman
Time frame: The Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire will be administered to all patients between 08:00 and 09:00 on the morning following their first night of hospitalization.
