title: [The effect of music therapy on pain and anxiety in intensive care patients].
abstract: In recent years, intensive care units have been using advanced technology that provides significantly improved results in clinical treatment and care practices. However, this results in intensive care patients experiencing pain and anxiety. This pain and anxiety is generally brought under control with various pharmacological preparations. When a pharmacological approach is not used or is ineffective, doctors and nurses also use non-pharmacological approaches such as music to control pain and anxiety. Research has found music therapy to be an effective method of reducing pain intensity and anxiety levels in intensive care patients. Therefore, the use of music therapy is important for intensive care patients. This article will deal with the effects of music therapy on pain and anxiety management in intensive care patients.
