Abstract

Background: Pain is the most common complaint and the main problem in postoperative patients. Several non-pharmacological therapies can distract the postoperative patient’s focus from pain, one of which is music therapy. Certain music genres can affect human physiology and psychology so that the patient’s blood pressure is stable. Several genres of music can provide a therapeutic effect, one of which is lo-fi. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of lo-fi music on pain intensity and blood pressure. Methods: This study uses a “quasi-experimental” method with a “pretest-posttest with control group design” approach. The treatment group received analgesic therapy and lo-fi music therapy, while the control group received only analgesic therapy. Results: There was a difference in pain intensity before and after lo-fi music therapy and analgesics with a significance of 0.001 (p < 0.05) in the treatment group and 0.046 (p < 0.05) in the control group. Unfortunately, in blood pressure, there was no significant difference before and after giving lo-fi music therapy with a significance of 0.161 (p > 0.05) in the treatment group and 0.556 (p > 0.05) in the control group. Conclusion: Giving lo-fi music therapy with a combination of analgesic therapy is more effective in reducing pain intensity than giving analgesic therapy alone and lo-fi music therapy and analgesic therapy do not affect systolic blood pressure.
