The Effect of Eye Mask and Music on The Level of Anxiety and Primary Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Angiography: A Randomized Controlled Trail

To evaluate the comparative effect of eye mask and music on anxiety level and primary hemodynamic parameters of patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG).

Single blind an experimental comparative design, 157 participants undergoing coronary angiography in single center, randomly assigned in to four groups (three experimental groups and one control)

Cardiac Catheterization and Surgery Center, Al-Diwaniyah, Iraq. The single blind method was assured as patients were not aware that listening to music, wearing eye mask, or both.

Inclusion criteria: Patients were eligible if they were aged above 18 years (male and female), scheduled and admitted for elective CAG, not having visual and hearing impairments, not administered narcotics, sedatives, and antipsychotics before CAG. Exclusion Criteria: If participant having a history of previous CAG, admitted for urgent CAG, and those who are refused to engage in the study. Furthermore, the withdrawal exclusion criteria were refused to continue participating in the study, headphone or eye mask removed during procedure, and total CAG period more than 20 min or less than 10 min.

1. Music group, participants listening to music during CAG procedure. 2. eye mask group, participants wearing eye mask during CAG procedure. 3. eye mask- music group, participants listening to music and wearing eye mask in same time during CAG.

1.Anxiety level pre-test and post-test. 2. primary hemodynamic parameters at three measures.

Simple randomization was used in assigning participants (individuals: people undergoing elective CAG) to music, eye mask, eye mask-music and control groups. The randomization procedure involved choosing a number from a sealed envelope that contained two numbers: One and two (1 was in the control group and 2 was in the intervention group). Then, in order to allocate the patients in music, eye mask, and eye mask-music groups, another sealed envelope that contains three numbers (1 was in music, 2 was in eye mask, and 3 was in eye mask-music) was given to the patients who were allocated in the intervention group in the previous step.

The single blind method was assured as patients were not aware that listening to music, wearing eye mask, or both in the same time, in order to prevent possible biases.

All sociodemographic data of participants

The data will be available after the article is published in a scientific journal early next year (2025)

The data will be available to students, academic professors, as well as health institutions.

SPSS will be used to analyze data descriptively and inferentially. Thus, the results are used after completing the statistical analysis.

Data will be collected at the Specialized Cardiac Catheterization and Surgery Center in Al-Diwaniyah Governorate, Iraq. Director of the Center, Dr. Hamid Hassan Al-Moussawi. phone number: 009647753300870

Data will be collected from patients undergoing elective coronary angiography via a questionnaire, which includes demographic data and an anxiety scale, which will be filled out by the participant, while primary hemodynamic parameters will be measured and recorded by the researcher.
