Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to examine the effects of maternal voice and music therapy on pain and physiological parameters during the endotracheal suctioning process in intubated children.
Design
The study was a single-centre, randomized controlled trial.
Setting
The Thoracic-Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in Turkey.
Methods
This study involved three groups of 27 children, aged between 2 and 36 months. All three groups, including the control group (CG), received the standard suction protocol before, during, and after each intervention. Additionally, the children in the music therapy (MT) group listened to music titled ‘The Happiest Child’, while the children in the mother's voice (MV) group listened to recordings of their mothers' voices. The variables assessed are pain and physiological parameters.
Results
When the pain results of the children were evaluated, the pain score of the children in the control group was found to be significantly higher than children in the mother's voice and music voice group (p < .05). It was determined that the lowest FLACC Pain Scale value was in the mother's voice group (p < .05). When the physiological parameters results were evaluated, it was determined that the physiological measurement values of the children in the experimental group were positively affected (p < .05), there was a significant difference between the control group (p < .05) and the most effective result was in the mother's voice group (p < .05).
Conclusions
The application of mother's voice and music therapy to children before, during and after the aspiration procedure reduces the pain of children, positively affects their physiological parameters and improves the quality of nursing care.
Implications for clinical practice
This study provides a scientific basis for nursing practices in clinical settings and contributes to clinical practice by shedding light on future evidence-based studies.

Official Journal of the Society of Pediatric Nurses and the Pediatric Endocrinology Nursing Society (PENS)
The Journal of Pediatric Nursing: Nursing Care of Children and Families (JPN) is interested in publishing evidence-based practice, quality improvement, theory, and research papers on a variety of topics from US and international authors. JPN is the official journal of the Society of Pediatric Nurses and the Pediatric Endocrinology Nursing Society. Cecily L. Betz, PhD, RN, FAAN is the Founder and Editor in Chief.
Journal content covers the life span from birth to adolescence. Submissions should be pertinent to the nursing care needs of healthy and ill infants, children, and adolescents, addressing their biopsychosocial needs. JPN also features the following regular columns for which authors may submit brief papers: Hot Topics and Technology.
