Effects of Music on Anxiety and Comfort Levels of Nursing Students During Their First Simulation Experience: A
Background:
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of music application on anxiety and comfort experienced by nursing students during their first patient simulation experience.
Study Design:
The study has a pretest-posttest design with a randomized control group.
Participants:
Included nursing students studying in the health sciences department of a university in the west of Turkey, with n = 40 in the Experimental Group and n = 37 in the Control Group.
Data Collection Tools:
Pre- and post-simulation blood pressure was measured, and "Descriptive Information Form", "State Anxiety Inventory (SAI)", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" of perceived comfort, and "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning Questionnaire (SSSCLQ)" were used to collect the data. Before the simulation application, all students were asked to fill in the SAI, VAS, and SSSCLQ.
Intervention:
Instrumental music was played to the experimental group for 30 minutes immediately before the simulation application. After the simulation, all students were asked to fill out the SAI, VAS, and SSSCLQ.
Results:
The difference between the mean pretest and posttest anxiety scores was statistically significant (P < .05).
Conclusion:
It was found that the pre-simulation music application improved the students' comfort levels and reduced their anxiety and systolic blood pressure.

Assessing the apical pulse is a critical nursing procedure, particularly indicated for:

The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
