Study Summary
The purpose of this project is to introduce and implement music therapy as an evidence-based pain management protocol focused on reducing postoperative pain levels among Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) patients in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) of the project site. The clinical question guiding this initiative is: In adult patients undergoing a VATS procedure, does the implementation of music therapy lead to lower postoperative pain scores in the PACU compared to no intervention within an 8-week timeframe? The investigator will ask eligible patients their immediate pain scores upon arrival into the PACU and then start music of patient's choice via over-the-ear headphones. Pain scores will be rechecked 30 minutes after implementation of music therapy. The standard of care pain medications and/or usual care will not be withheld or altered after surgery in lieu of music therapy.
Primary Outcome
Measuring pain scores of VATS patients immediately after arrival to PACU. After music therapy is implemented, pain scores will be repeated after 30 minutes to see if there is an improvement of pain due to music implementation. Pain will be measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain assessment tool.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Music Therapy with over-the ear headphones
