Impact of Sound Shower Music Diffusion on Family Anxiety in Intensive Care Unit Waiting Room

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Musical intervention (L-shaped musical sequence) broadcast by a sound shower lasting 20 to 30 minutes in waiting room.: Musical intervention (L-shaped musical sequence) broadcast by a sound shower lasting 20 to 30 minutes in waiting room.

Study summary

Hospitalization in intensive care is a source of intense stress for both patients and their family. Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) may affect both patients and their family. Outside the acute care in intensive care unit, non-drug therapies are gradually proving effective in reducing stress and pain. The investigators would like to know whether the beneficial effects of music therapy can be transferred to their intensive care patients. The aim of the project is to evaluate an innovative and personalized music diffusion system using a sound shower on the family anxiety in the intensive care waiting room. In this study, the investigators will compare the family anxiety in the intensive care waiting room, with or without music played through the sound shower.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Family/Relatives anxiety in the intensive care waiting room — 20 to 30 minutes after randomization
  Anxiety is assessed using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y score (STAI-Y), completed by a family member or a relative after 20 to 30 minutes of waiting in the waiting room with or without music. The STAI-Y is a self-administered questionnaire. Scores range from 20 to 80; the higher the score, the greater the patient's level of anxiety.
