Official Title: Effects of a Meditation Music Intervention on Glycemic Control, Anxiety, and Sleep Quality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Undergoing Elective Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing elective surgery are at increased risk of perioperative hyperglycemia, anxiety, and poor sleep quality because of the physiological and psychological stress associated with surgery. These factors may negatively affect postoperative recovery and increase the risk of complications.

Music-based interventions are safe, inexpensive, and non-pharmacological approaches that may reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and help regulate physiological stress responses. However, evidence regarding the effects of perioperative meditation music on glycemic control, anxiety, and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing elective surgery remains limited.

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative meditation music in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing elective surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving routine perioperative care plus meditation music or a control group receiving routine perioperative care alone. The intervention group will listen to self-selected meditation music at predefined perioperative time points before and after surgery.

Brief Summary The primary objective is to determine whether perioperative meditation music improves postoperative glycemic control. Secondary objectives are to evaluate its effects on anxiety levels and sleep quality. Anxiety will be assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-State), sleep quality will be measured using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, and glycemic control will be evaluated using routinely measured blood glucose values.

The findings of this study may provide evidence for the use of meditation music as a simple, safe, and cost-effective nursing intervention to improve perioperative outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing elective surgery.

Detailed Description

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of perioperative hyperglycemia, delayed wound healing, postoperative infections, prolonged hospitalization, and other surgical complications. In addition to metabolic disturbances, the psychological stress associated with elective surgery may increase anxiety levels, disrupt sleep quality, and further impair glycemic control through activation of neuroendocrine stress pathways.

Music-based interventions have been recognized as safe, inexpensive, and non-pharmacological strategies for reducing perioperative stress and improving patient comfort. Previous studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of music on anxiety, physiological stress responses, and postoperative recovery. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of perioperative meditation music on glycemic control, anxiety, and sleep quality specifically in patients with T2DM undergoing elective surgery remains limited.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether perioperative meditation music, when provided in addition to routine perioperative care, improves postoperative glycemic control, reduces anxiety, and enhances sleep quality in adults with T2DM undergoing elective surgery.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving routine perioperative care plus self-selected meditation music or a control group receiving routine perioperative care alone. The music intervention will be delivered at predefined perioperative time points before and after surgery using standardized procedures.

Clinical, physiological, and patient-reported outcomes will be collected throughout the perioperative period to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the integration of meditation music into perioperative nursing care as a safe, feasible, and cost-effective complementary intervention for patients with T2DM undergoing elective surgery.
