Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness between listening to Quran and nature sounds on preoperative anxiety and physiological parameters. Using systematic random sampling, a randomized controlled trial study was conducted among 81 patients, which comprised of male and female patients allocated into three equal groups, that is, Quran recitation group, nature sounds group, and a control group. Preoperative state anxiety was measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Embong, 2018), and physiological parameters were recorded before and after the intervention. After the intervention, the analysis within-subjects showed significant improvement in heart rate, respiratory rate, and state anxiety. However, post-hoc test showed that reduction in the mean state anxiety scores in all groups was the only significant factor. Paired analysis showed that only mean state anxiety level of nature sounds group has a significant reduction in comparison to control group; whereas there was nonsignificant difference in state anxiety of other paired groups when compared between both intervened groups and between Quran group and control group. The result concluded that listening to either the Quran or nature sounds were effective in reducing preoperative anxiety, however head-to-head comparison found no significant difference.

听古兰经和自然声音对手术患者术前焦虑的影响

本研究旨在比较听古兰经和自然声音对术前焦虑和生理参数的影响。采用系统随机抽样的方法，对81例患者进行随机对照试验研究，将患者分为男女三组，分别为诵读古兰经组、自然声音组和对照组。术前状态焦虑采用状态-特质焦虑量表(Embong, 2018)进行测量，并记录干预前后的生理参数。干预后，受试者内部分析显示心率、呼吸频率和焦虑状态有显著改善。然而，事后测试显示，所有组的平均状态焦虑评分的降低是唯一显著的因素。配对分析显示，与对照组相比，自然声音组只有平均状态焦虑水平显著降低;而其他配对组的状态焦虑在干预组和可兰经组与对照组之间无显著差异。结果表明，无论是听《古兰经》还是听大自然的声音都能有效地减少术前焦虑，但头对头比较没有发现显著差异。

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
