Official title
Music Therapy to Reduce Stress and Increase Satisfaction in Patients Undergoing Surgical Wound Dressings in the In-hospital Setting: a Randomized Study

One group will listen to music of their choice during wound care, while the other group will receive standard wound care without music. The investigators will then compare the two groups to see whether listening to music helps reduce stress and improve the experience during the procedure.
