The Effect of Music Therapy on Psychological Status and Sleep Quality Among Pregnant Women: A Randomized Control Trail

There is a strong correlation between sleep disturbance and indications of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, in Egypt no research has looked into how better sleep for expectant mothers might be achieved by inexpensive, pleasurable, non-invasive music listening. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate how music listening affects pregnant women's psychological status, and sleep quality.

This study used a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design and adhered to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines. The study utilized a simple random sampling technique to select participants in proportion to the total number of pregnant women in the outpatient Medical National Institute in Damanhur city, Egypt.
