Study summary

This study involves hospitalized patients who need wound dressing procedures. Patients will be assigned by chance to one of two groups. One group will listen to music of their choice during wound care, while the other group will receive standard wound care without music. The investigators will then compare the two groups to see whether listening to music helps reduce stress and improve the experience during the procedure.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. change in heart rate

    Time frame: periprocedural

Secondary outcomes

  1. change in blood pressure

    Time frame: periprocedural

  2. change in respiratory rate

    Time frame: periprocedural

  3. change in oxygen saturation

    Time frame: periprocedural

  4. pain intensity

    Patient-reported outcomes. Patient-reported pain intensity is assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS; range 0-10). The Numerical Rating Scale is a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity and therefore represent a worse outcome.

    Time frame: periprocedural

  5. perceived anxiety

    Patient-reported outcomes, assessed using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS, 0-10). The Numerical Rating Scale is a scale ranging from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (worst imaginable anxiety). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety and therefore represent a worse outcome.

    Time frame: periprocedural
