Abstract:Background:One of the most expressed complains following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is chest wall pain. Due to side effects of opioids used commonly for pain relief after heart surgeries, it is important to use low-cost and non-pharmacological methods independently or combined with palliatives to alleviate pain and consequently prevent undesirable drug adverse effects.Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the effect of Hazrate Zahra’s praises, which is one of the most known praises among M… Show more
“…A study by Nasiri et al on the effects of reciting the word "Allah" on pain severity after coronary artery bypass reported a significant reduction of pain severity in the first three days after surgery. 3 Another study by Beiranvand et al on the effects of prayer meditation on postoperative pain and anxiety showed that there was significant reduction of postoperative pain in caesarean section patients. 4 Another non-pharmacological means of pain intervention is music therapy.…”
Introduction: Non-pharmacological interventions are considered as successful adjuncts to manage pain. We are studying the comparative effects of listening to prayer recitation and music therapy intraoperatively as non-pharmacological interventions on postoperative pain and intraoperative haemodynamics. Materials and Methods: Seventy two muslim patients with acute appendicitis requiring open, emergency appendicectomies under general anaesthesia were recruited and randomised into three groups: Group A: patients who listened to prayer recitation, Group B: patients who listened to music, Group C: control group - patients who did not listen to any prayer or music. Intraoperative blood pressure, heart rate and postoperative pain scores were monitored. Results: The demographic data, pre- and post-headphones application haemodynamics were compared. There were significantly lower heart rates at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes for Group A and at 50 and 60 minutes for Group B patients when compared to Group C. Significant reduction in postoperative pain scores were seen in Group A patients at 30 minutes and 8 hours as compared to Group C patients. No significant differences in pain scores were seen between Group B and C patients. No significant differences in additional analgesic requirements postoperatively were seen in all three groups. Conclusion: Listening to prayer recitation or music intraoperatively significantly lowered intraoperative heart rates, however only prayer recitation significantly reduced postoperative pain scores as compared to the control group.

“…From the perspective of Islam, recitation of the word "Allah" is very important and is considered equal to a prayer (18). According to recent scientific results, recitation of the word "Allah" has effective impacts on medical conditions including postoperative and burninduced pain (18,19), burn-induced anxiety (17), and postoperative vital signs (19).…”
Background: Patients undergoing heart surgery experience different levels of anxiety that may affect their recovery. Objectives: As it is essential to use low-cost and non-invasive methods for these patients, we decided to assess the effect of an Islamic praise (Zikr) on patients' anxiety after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
“…This result is congruent with some previous studies. Dhikr therapy could reduce the pain experienced by patients after surgery (Haryani, Arifudin, & Nurhayati, 2015;Beiranvand, Noparast, Eslamizade, & Saeedikia, 2014), AMI patients (Nasiri et al, 2014), and primigravida women who experienced depression (Wahyuni et al, 2018). The decreasing pain scale is related to the patients' psychological conditions.…”

“…One complementary therapy which might be used to reduce the cardiac chest pain is Dhikr therapy. Some studies have shown the effect of Dhikr therapy in the clinical setting (Nasiri, Fayazi, Ghaderi, Naseri, & Adarvishi, 2014;Sulistyawati, Probosuseno, & Setiyarini, 2019;Wahyuni, Soejoenoes, Putra, & Syukur, 2018). Sulistyawati et al (2019) used Dhikr therapy to reduce anxiety in patients suffering from cancer.…”
Background: Cardiac chest pain is a typical complaint experienced by patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in Emergency Departments (EDs). Pharmacological therapy is one major intervention used to reduce cardiac chest pain due to ACS. However, this therapy does not optimally and completely reduce cardiac chest pain; therefore, additional therapy is greatly required.Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of Dhikr therapy as one of the additional therapies for the cardiac chest pain experienced by patients with ACS in EDs.Methods: This quasi-experimental research was conducted using a pretest-posttest control group design. As many as 52 patients with ACS were recruited using a consecutive sampling technique and then equally divided to the intervention and control group. The intervention group received both pharmacological and Dhikr therapy approximately for 17 minutes, while the control group only received the pharmacological therapy based on the hospital’s protocol. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to measure the intensity of cardiac chest pain, and both paired and independent t-tests were utilized to analyze the data.Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in pain reduction in both groups (p=0.000), although the decrease in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group. Furthermore, the pain reduction was significantly different between groups (p=0.021)Conclusion: Dhikr combined with the pharmacological therapy reduced the intensity of cardiac chest pain in ACS patients better than the use of pharmacological therapy alone. Therefore, this study recommends the combination of pharmacological and Dhikr therapy for patients with ACS.
