@entity1 @entity282 @entity148 @entity158
Unrelieved @entity282 may have a negative impact on the physiological and psychological well-being of @entity1 . Pharmacological methods are currently used to relieve @entity158 in gynecological @entity1 ; however, inadequate @entity158 control is still reported, and the use of nonpharmacological @entity158 -relieving methods is increasingly being advocated, one of which is music therapy. The purpose of this literature review was to identify, summarize, and critically appraise current evidence on music therapy and @entity282 management among gynecological @entity1 . A systematic search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, British Nursing Index, and Allied and Complementary Medicine was conducted using the search terms music, gynecological, @entity158 , surgery, operative, and post-operative to identify relevant articles in English from 1995 to the present. All identified articles were assessed independently for inclusion into review. A total of 7 articles were included after removal of duplicates and exclusion of irrelevant studies. All the included studies assessed the effects of music therapy on @entity282 intensity, and three of them measured @entity158 -related physiological symptoms. The findings indicated that music therapy, in general, was effective in reducing @entity158 intensity, fatigue, @entity148 , and analgesic consumption in gynecological @entity1 during the postoperative period. It is recommended as an adjunct to pharmacological @entity158 -relieving methods in reducing @entity282 . Future researches on music therapy to identify the most effective application and evaluate its effect by qualitative study are recommended.
