Music intervention during non-stress test and its effects on maternal anxiety, maternal vital signs and fetalparameters: A quasi-experimental study

Maternal anxiety levels decreased following both the music intervention and the completion of the non-stress test. Music affected blood pressure and maintained stable fetal movements and accelerations. The preliminary findings of the present nonrandomized, quasi-experimental study, with one pre- and post-test group, indicate that music may be a potentially available option in midwifery.
