Abstract The influence of music therapy (MT) on preoperative anxiety in children affected by leukemia undergoing invasive diagnostic procedures (IP) was evaluated. The participants were assigned to two different types of preoperative preparation for IP: MT intervention or standard care. Preoperative anxiety scores were measured with the Modified Yale Pre-operative Anxiety Scale. Interviews with medical staff were performed. A lower preoperative anxiety score in the MT group (n = 29) compared with standard care (n = 19) was observed. Results support the potential effectiveness of integrating music therapy with a pharmacological approach to reduce preoperative anxiety in IP. More than 90 % of the medical staff (n = 19) were very satisfied with the ability of MT to distract the patient and support the staff.

音乐疗法对接受侵入性手术的小儿肿瘤患者术前焦虑的影响

摘要评估了音乐疗法（MT）对接受侵入性诊断程序（IP）的白血病患儿术前焦虑的影响。参与者被分配了两种不同类型的IP术前准备：MT干预或标准护理。术前焦虑评分采用改良耶鲁术前焦虑量表进行测量。对医务人员进行了采访。与标准护理（n = 19）相比，MT组（n = 29）的术前焦虑评分较低。结果支持将音乐疗法与药理学方法相结合以减少术前IP焦虑的潜在有效性。超过90％的医护人员（n = 19）对MT分散患者注意力并支持医护人员的能力非常满意。
