Abstract

Background: Women candidate for cesarean section experience a high degree of anxiety due to fear of anesthesia and its complications. On the other hand, post-operative pain induces unfavorable psychosomatic effects. Pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical approaches, like listening to music, use to decrease these adverse effects. Regard to the belief of Muslims to Quran sound, we assessed its effect on the grade of pain and anxiety of the patients underwent cesarean section with regional anesthesia.Methods: In a case-controlled clinical trail, 64 candidates of cesarean section were included. Cases were exposed to Quran sound but the controls did not expose. The degree of pain and anxiety were compared during and after operation between two groups.Findings: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in sedation score, heart rate, respiratory rate and vomiting (P > 0.050). Recovery duration in controls was significantly longer (P < 0.001). Pain was significantly lower in cases at 1, 2 and 24 hours after the surgery (P < 0.050). Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower in cases before, during, and after the (P < 0.050). Anxiety score was higher in controls during and 1 hour after the surgery (P = 0.001). The level of satisfaction between the groups was statistically different (P < 0.001).Conclusion: Quran sound decreased the degree of anxiety and pain, and increased the patients’ satisfaction.
