Abstract

Session presented on Friday, September 26, 2014:

Some common types of music neonates are reported to prefer includes female voices, lullabies at a rate of 60-80 beats per minute, Mozart, and piano music (Hodges & Wilson, 2010; Keith, 2009, Schwartz, 2004). Decibel levels for neonates should range from 55-80db for a neonate (Stanley, 2002). No study was found that focused on neonates with any type of diagnoses at 28 weeks in regards to their physiological response to music when irritable. The purpose of this research study was to determine if playing music for fussy/irritiable neonates would decrease their heart rate and respiratory rate, and increase their oxygen saturations while in NICU.
