Labor is a process of fetal expulsion that occurs in term pregnancy (37-42 weeks). Anxiety will appear in the third trimester pregnancy (28-40 weeks) until delivery. Maternity women who experience excessive anxiety will be at risk of stimulation of fetal contractions that can result in increased blood pressure resulting in preeclampsia and other complications such as prolonged labor. The study design was quasi experiment, with pre-test and post-test control groups. The population was 30 women and the sample was divided into 15 intervention group and 15 control group. The sampling technique is total population. The independent variable is classical music therapy and the dependent variable is the anxiety level of the women at the first stage of the latent phase of labor. The mean of anxiety in the experimental group before the intervention was 37.6 (S = 5.46), the mean of anxiety of the respondent in the experimental group after the intervention was 23.9 (SD = 6.21). The mean of anxiety of respondents in the control group after the intervention was 37.6 (S = 62.16). The results also showed that there were differences in anxiety levels before and after the intervention in the control group (p = .00) and there were differences in anxiety levels between the experimental group and control after intervention (p= .00). The is an effect of classical music therapy on maternal anxiety at the Ronggakoe Manggarai Timur Public Health Center in East Nusa Tenggara 2020. Researchers suggest health workers to provide classical music therapy to every women facing labor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
