The Effect of Music Listening on Preoperative Anxiety in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery: A Randomized Trial
Can music listening decrease a patient's anxiety before surgery? The investigators
hypothesize that music listening will decrease a patient's pre-operative anxiety
significantly more than no music listening.
The investigators aim to see if additional variables affect a patient's anxiety and response
to music listening, such as demographic factors (age, race, prior surgical experience, type
of surgery planned) and music background (experience playing a musical instrument, music
listening habits). The investigators also aim to see if pre-operative music listening is
associated with improved patient satisfaction.

Does music listening decrease preoperative anxiety in women who are scheduled for pelvic
reconstructive surgery? Participants will be approached on the day of pelvic reconstructive
surgery while they wait in the pre-operative area for surgery. For the sake of not disrupting
the flow of the surgery schedule, patients will be consented approximately 45 minutes before
the anticipated start time of surgery. If patient agrees to participate, they will be
consented and evaluated for eligibility. Once informed consent is obtained, the patient will
be randomized to either the music listening group or the control group. All patients will be
asked to complete a STAI-Y1 and demographics questionnaire while awaiting surgery. Those in
the music listening group will be asked to answer additional questions regarding their
background and experience with music.
Control group:
Participants in the control group will complete another STAI-Y1 questionnaire after 30
minutes of waiting. At the patient's routine 6 weeks postoperative visit, she will be asked
to rate her overall satisfaction with her surgery and her satisfaction with the preoperative
experience.
Music listening group:
The music listening group will be given a set of noise canceling headphones and an MP3 player
with multiple tracks representing different music genres to use while in preoperative area.
Patients will be given a handout listing the music genre types and asked to circle which
music type they listened to during the study. Genre types include classical instrumental,
classical piano, smooth jazz, gospel, and new age. After 30 minutes, patients will be asked
to complete another STAI-Y1 questionnaire. They will be given the option to continue
listening to music up until the time of surgery; however no additional STAI-Y1 questionnaires
will be administered. Headphones and the MP3 player will be taken from the patient as she is
being transported to the operating room. The headphones and MP3 player will be cleaned with
alcohol wipes and reused for other participants in the study.
At the patient's routine 6 weeks postoperative visit, she will be asked to rate her overall
satisfaction with her surgery, her satisfaction with the preoperative experience, and whether
she would recommend pre-operative music listening to others.
