Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the effect of therapeutic listening on people’s anxiety in the immediate
preoperative period. Method: a quasi-experimental and intervention research study carried out from
July to October 2018 with 150 people in a Hospital from Minas Gerais/Brazil. Anxiety was assessed
using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the physiological measures. Descriptive and
inferential statistical analysis and Chi-square, Spearman and Wilcoxon tests were performed. Results:
of the 31 people with anxiety, 20 had a reduction in the anxiety levels and in the physiological
measures mean values after the intervention. A significant relationship was found between the
gender, monthly family income, previous surgical complications and significant life events variables
and the anxiety measure. A weak positive correlation was found between anxiety and respiratory
rate and a weak negative correlation between anxiety and age group. Conclusion: when identifying
patients with anxiety, interventions such as therapeutic listening can be implemented to make the
perioperative period healthier.
