A Cross Sectional Study on the Autonomic Modulations Produced By Music Listening In Anxious Medical Professionals.
2014
The elevated anxiety level in professionals like medicos can be reduced by adopting relaxation techniques such as music listening. The impact produced by music is studied by Heart Rate Variability analysis (HRV). To expose anxious medical professionals to soothing music and assess changes produced on basal physiological parameters and HRV. Amongst the 50 medicos recruited for the study, 24 had elevated anxiety level (SAS Index>45). They were exposed to soothing music. Basal physiological and HRV parameters (Time domain, Frequency domain) of pre and post music session were recorded and analysed. Post music session recordings compared to premusic session show statistically significant decrease in Heart rate, Systolic Blood Pressure and increase in all Time Domain analysis variables and HF (High Frequency) ratio of Frequency Domain analysis variables.
