Perioperative Meditation Music Intervention in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Undergoing Elective Surgery

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing elective surgery are at increased risk of perioperative hyperglycemia, anxiety, and poor sleep quality because of the physiological and psychological stress associated with surgery. These factors may negatively affect postoperative recovery and increase the risk of complications. Music-based interventions are safe, inexpensive, and non-pharmacological approaches that may reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and help regulate physiological stress responses. However, evidence regarding the effects of perioperative meditation music on glycemic control, anxiety, and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing elective surgery remains limited. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative meditation music in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing elective surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving routine perioperative care plus meditation music or a control group receiving routine perioperative care alone. The intervention group will listen to self-selected meditation music at predefined perioperative time points before and after surgery. Brief Summary The primary objective is to determine whether perioperative meditation music improves postoperative glycemic control. Secondary objectives are to evaluate its effects on anxiety levels and sleep quality. Anxiety will be assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-State), sleep quality will be measured using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, and glycemic control will be evaluated using routinely measured blood glucose values. The findings of this study may provide evidence for the use of meditation music as a simple, safe, and cost-effective nursing intervention to improve perioperative outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing elective surgery.
