This is a Study to Find Out Whether Music Therapy Can Reduce Stress During Wound Care

Music Therapy to Reduce Stress and Increase Satisfaction in Patients Undergoing Surgical Wound Dressings in the In-hospital Setting: a Randomized Study

This study involves hospitalized patients who need wound dressing procedures. Patients will be assigned by chance to one of two groups. One group will listen to music of their choice during wound care, while the other group will receive standard wound care without music. The investigators will then compare the two groups to see whether listening to music helps reduce stress and improve the experience during the procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Hospitalized patients undergoing wound dressing procedures
• Age ≥ 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant or lactating women
• Cognitive impairment or language barriers
• Severe hearing impairment
• Clinical instability requiring urgent medical intervention at the time of wound dressing
