Comparison of classical and patient-preferred music on anxiety and recovery after ınguinal hernia repair: a prospective randomized controlled study
Authors' conclusion
Preoperative patient-preferred music application reduces postoperative anxiety and improves recovery quality compared to classical music. In addition, regulation of hemodynamic data and patient satisfaction increase in a preferential music application, but pain scores do not change.
