Using Music During Wound Care Among Seniors With Pressure Injuries

Официальное название

Investigating the Use of Music During Wound Care

Обзор

Pressure injuries (also known as pressure wounds or bed sores) are increasingly common among older adults living in care homes. These wounds often require regular dressing changes, which can be uncomfortable for some. The researchers believe that listening to music during wound care may have an effect on pain, wound healing, and the overall wound care experience, compared with wound care without music. The goal of this clinical study is to test this idea by examining whether listening to music before and during wound care is linked to differences in pain, wound healing, and the overall wound care experience in older adults with pressure injuries. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does listening to music before and during pressure injury care affect pain during wound care? Does listening to music before and during pressure injury care affect how pressure injuries heal over time? Does listening to music affect the overall experience of pressure injury care? Researchers will compare wound care with music to wound care without music to better understand whether music makes a difference. The study will take place in eleven long-term care homes in Ontario. Participants will be residents aged 60 years and older who have a stage II, III, or IV pressure injury and who are already receiving regular wound care as part of their usual care. This study will not include residents who have infected or necrotic wounds, or who are at the end of life. Participants will continue to receive the same wound care they would normally receive. Some homes will include music during wound care, and some homes will not. Participants in homes using music will: Listen to a playlist of music they personally enjoy for about 15 minutes before wound care begins Continue listening to the music during the wound care procedure Be able to change the volume or stop the music at any time Participants in homes not using music will receive the same standard pressure injury care without music. Information for the study will come from clinical records that nurses already complete during routine wound care, such as notes about pain and wound healing. Staff involved in playing the music will also complete a short questionnaire about their observations of the wound care experience. Photos of wounds that are already taken as part of usual care may be reviewed to look at healing over time. Participants may take part in the study for up to six months or until their wound has healed. Taking part is voluntary, and participants or their decision-makers can choose to stop at any time. The study does not change the medical care participants receive.
