“…Classical music had proven to have an influence in reducing pain and anxiety (Ghiasi, 2018;Lee, 2016). Patients with reduced consciousness can only treated by tactile-nociceptive, visual and auditory stimuli to regain their consciousness (Tortora and Derrickson, 2013).…”

Patient with reduced consciousness needs attention to their comfort as well as pain during treatment. Listening to classical music caused relaxation and pain reduction. This study aimed to determine the effect of classical music on the CPOT score, BPS-NI, and cortisol levels in patients with reduced consciousness. The research was conducted by using a pretest-posttest control group design. 18 patients were divided into the control group (C) and the classical music group (M). Classical music was played for 3 days respectively that consisted of 3 sessions per day. Furthermore, each patient was tested for cortisol levels on the third day. Comparative test of mean difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention obtained significant results in CPOT (p= 0.000) and BPS-NI (p= 0.001) measurements in all groups. Tukey's post-hoc test obtained significant results in which the M group had a lower mean score. The mean of cortisol level was higher in M group (14.7 μg/dL) compared to the C group (12.96 μg/dL), although not significant statistically (p= 0.67). Listening to classical music for patients with reduced consciousness decreased the pain scale. This was supported by the average of cortisol levels that were higher in the M group, considering that cortisol was a hormone that prevents pain.

Background: Listening to the Quran is one of spiritual therapies that have been used for treating mental disorders. Many studies have been conducted to assess the effect of listening to the Quran on mental health and psychological wellbeing. Several reviews were conducted to summarise results of such evidence. However, they either focused on studies published in a certain country (Iran), focused on certain setting (intensive care unit), or were written by Persian language. Moreover, none of them synthesised results of studies statistically.Objective: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of listening to the Quran to improve mental disorders and psychological well-being by summarizing and pooling the findings of previous literature.Methods: A systematic review was conducted to accomplish this objective. The search sources included 6 bibliographic databases (e.g., MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINHAL), the search engine “Google Scholar”, and backward and forward reference list checking of the included studies and relevant reviews. Two reviewers independently carried out the study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and quality of evidence evaluation. Results of the included studies were synthesized narratively and statistically, as appropriate.Results: Of 1724 citations retrieved, 11 studies met the eligibility criteria. Of these studies, 7 were included in meta-analysis. The evidence showed that listening to the Quran is significantly effective in improving state anxiety, trait anxiety, general anxiety, depression, stress and mental health. However, the evidence quality ranged from very low to low due to the high risk of bias, heterogeneity, and impression.Conclusion: Listening to the Quran has the potential to improve mental disorders and psychological well-being. Until high-quality studies approve its effect, health professionals and individuals should consider listening to the Quran as a complementary therapy to already available interventions. Researchers should conduct further studies to compare the effectiveness of reciting and listening to the Quran and Al-Ruqya Al-Shariya with active interventions on mental disorders and psychological well-being among Muslims and non-Muslims from different countries.

Background: Anxiety is a common reaction among patients undergoing surgery. Religious believes are regarded as psychological methods that are used for the management of anxiety. The aim of this study is assessing the effectiveness of Quran recitation on reducing the anxiety before the elective surgery.Methods: A systematic review of the citations in the Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, Arab World Research Source and other relevant databases was performed to collect the data. Randomized clinical trials about the effect of Quran recitation on the reduction of anxiety before elective surgery were included without any Language and date restriction. Interventions with self-reading/self-recitation were excluded. The Cochran’s Q statistic and the (I2) with 50 percent threshold was used for calculation of the heterogeneity and the inconsistency index. The funnel plot has been used to evaluate the possibility of the publication bias.Results: We identified 2381 studies from the systematic search. Of these, twelve were included in the qualitative synthesis and nine studies included in the quantitative synthesis. Our meta-analysis showed a significant reduction in the anxiety level with Quran recitation. The heterogeneity of the included studies was statistically significant (Q=23.05, I2=65.29, P=0.003). The pooled effect size of the anxiety was d=−8.893; 95% CI=[−10.763 to −7.022] (P < 0.001), and there was no publication bias (t=0.907, P=0.39) in the studies.Conclusion: Quran recitation can be considered as a non-invasive and peaceful intervention to reduce anxiety before elective surgery.
