The non-stress test (NST) is one of the most common tests used to assess fetal well-being. The NST, based on the evaluation of a fetus's oxygenation status, is widely used because it is non-invasive and easy to interpret.
The study was aimed at determining the effect of music listened to by pregnant women during the NST on their test results and anxiety levels.
This randomized controlled study included 110 multiparous pregnant women. Of them, 55 were in the intervention group and 55 were in the control group. The pregnant women in the intervention group listened to music during the NST procedure. The data were collected using the Pregnant Woman Information Form and the NST Follow-up. The form was developed based on pertinent literature, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to measure the state anxiety levels of pregnant women before and after the NST procedure.
It was observed that music increased the acceleration number and reactive NST ratio of pregnant women and reduced their anxiety levels.
It is recommended that midwives/nurses should play music in the follow-up and care of pregnant women in the clinic and NST polyclinic.
无应激试验（NST）是评估胎儿健康状况最常用的测试之一。NST 基于对胎儿氧合状态的评估，因其非侵入性且易于解释而被广泛应用。
本研究旨在确定孕妇在进行 NST 时听音乐对其测试结果和焦虑水平的影响。
这是一项随机对照研究，纳入了 110 名经产妇。其中 55 名孕妇为干预组，55 名孕妇为对照组。干预组孕妇在进行 NST 时听音乐。数据通过孕妇信息表和 NST 随访收集。该表是基于相关文献制定的，采用状态-特质焦虑量表评估孕妇在 NST 前后的状态焦虑水平。
研究发现，音乐增加了孕妇的加速次数和反应性 NST 比例，并降低了她们的焦虑水平。
建议助产士/护士在诊所和 NST 门诊的孕妇随访和护理中播放音乐。
