Abstract

Open-heart surgery patients in ICU report anxiety and pain with chair rest despite administration of opioid analgesics. In addition, chair rest increases myocardial oxygen demand (MVO2). Non-pharmacological, complementary methods (such as sedative music and scheduled rest) used to reduce anxiety, pain, and MVO2 during chair rest warranted further investigation. The conceptual framework was based on the transactional model of stress and coping. A 3-group pretest-posttest repeated measures experimental design examined the effect of music and rest on anxiety, pain sensation, and pain distress and MVO2 during chair rest in adult postoperative open-heart surgery patients.
