... Music therapy pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate. [6][7][8] Florence Nightingale stated, "Unnecessary noise that creates an expectation in the mind is that which hurts a patient. It is rarely the loudness of the noise, effect upon the organ of the ear, which appears to affect the sick person. ...
Post-operative patients experience varying degrees of pain, generalized discomfort or anxiety, loss of contro and sensitivity to unfamiliar noises may increase a patient's restlessness and perception of pain. If orders for opioid or non-opioid analgesics were written, the non-opioids, some of which had no analgesic properties, were given exclusively, in addition, the doses ordered were usually too small or too infrequent to be maximally effective.
Since the present study aims in investigating the effectiveness of music therapy to alleviate the post operative pain among school going childrens 6 – 12 years in Kamala Nehru Hospital & Research Center, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The research design for this study was one group pre – test, post- test design pre experimental design The primary reason for selecting Kamala Nehru Hospital & Research Center Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh was familiarity, feasibility and expected cooperation from the hospital authorities in getting permission and conducting the study.
The percentage of pain perception score of school going children before the administration of music therapy.They are having on an average 48. 4 % pain perception before the administration of music therapy. The overall percentage of pain perception score of school going children after the administration of music therapy. They are having on an average 70.6 % pain perception after the administration of music therapy. The analysis of present study by chi – square table, that the age of the school going children, the DF is 1, the c2 value is 5.86, the concern value is 3.84 which is greater than table value so that it is considered as highly significant at 0.05 or 5%. Emotional status of the school going children the DF is 1, the c2 value is 9.81, the concern value is 3.84 which is greater than concern value so it is considered as highly significant at 5% or 0.05. Over all H1is accepted because there are significant association between the selected demographic variables by emotional status and age group of the childrens. The analysis of the present study the ‘z’ value is 31.0 which is Highly Significant, that is, greater than the tabulated value at 1%. This data signifies that the music therapy was very effective.
... The complexity of affective response to music is exemplified in the mixed results found in research on music tempo. Some researchers have found that slow tempo music reduced anxiety (Jacobson 1956), whereas faster tempo music was associated with increased worry and emotionality (Smith and Morris 1976). However, Bruner (1990) reviewed literature that suggested faster tempo music was associated with positive affective states (such as happy and exciting), whereas slow tempo music was associated with feelings of sadness. ...
The management of buyers’ perceptions of waiting time by service businesses may be critical to customer satisfaction. Although
reducing actual waiting time is important, what managers view as a short time to wait may feel too long to customers. Relevant
literature from architecture, environmental psychology, psychology, physiology, operations management, sociology, and marketing
is integrated to build a conceptual model of how the service environment may influence affect and, in turn, waiting time perception.
Based on this model, propositions about how specific service environment elements (e.g., lighting, color, temperature) may
influence affect and time perception are presented. Finally, a research agenda and implications for service facility design
are proposed.
How consumers’ mood, perceived waiting time and store atmosphere are affected by background music is analyzed in two shopping situations : first when they wait for the salesclerk who is expected to provide them with a service in a store (pre-service situation) and, second, once the service is performed and they wait at the cash register (post-service situation). Hypotheses derived from Zakay’s Resource Allocation Model-RAM- ( 1989, 1994) and related models, lead to test whether consumers exposed to three levels of music tempo show significantly different patterns of relations between mood, perceived store atmosphere and waiting time. The two service situations are simulated through the use of videos. Subjects (N=249) are exposed to three (pre-tested) equally pleasant music pieces the tempo of which is either low or moderate or high; the arousing effects of tempo are also pre-tested. Results from linear equations systems show two very significantly different effects of music induced arousal on store and time related thoughts and on store image. The results are interpreted in light of RAM and the service literature.
Reviews research on the use of music to reduce pain, including the problems the dental community has had in measuring pain and in generalizing the effects of music on pain, and music therapists' research into pain. It is concluded that music reduces pain through distraction and emotional change. The physiology of pain is thought to be still imperfectly understood by scientific investigators.

Customer satisfaction is one of the most important business objectives of the 1990s. One element identified as critical to satisfaction is quality. In the service sector, this objective is manifested in the form of service quality. Current research has concentrated on face-to-face interactions in their studies of service quality. However, many businesses conduct much of their business by phone. In addition, given the significant influence of time on consumers' daily lives, the telephone is becoming an increasingly important tool in their consumption habits. Telephone interactions represent a unique challenge to firms wishing to establish long-term relationships with their customers. This article explores the specific phenomenon of being placed on hold when calling a business and how this act affects the consumers' perceptions of service quality. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The present report describes three experiments that examined the effects of sedative and stimulative music on performance decrement following frustration. A five-group design was used in the first experiment: No Treatment (NT), Frustration only (F), Frustration and Sedative music (F-SD), Frustration and Stimulative music (F-ST), and Frustration and Waiting (F-W). The second experiment assessed the differences in emotions associated with the two types of music, sedative and stimulative. After listening to each excerpt, subjects were required to report their feelings about each one, on a 15-point Semantic-Differential-type scale. The third experiment employed a three-group design: F-SD, F-ST, and F only. Music was also played during frustration manipulation. Results for the first experiment showed that while frustration plus sedative music reduced decrement in performance as compared with frustration only, stimulative music had no effect. The results of the second experiment showed that sedative music was highly correlated with calmness, tenderness, and contentedness, while stimulative music was related to tension, anger, boldness, and salience. The results of the third experiment were similar to those of Experiment 1 for effects of sedative music. Stimulative music, however, seemed to enhance the decrement in performance following frustration. The results are discussed with regard to the effects of music on performance, and the interaction of emotions and properties of sedative music in reducing the decremental effects of frustration on performance.
This study explores the interactive effects of musical and visual cues on time perception in a specific situation, that of waiting in a bank. Videotapes are employed to stimulate the situation; a 2 x 3 factorial design (N = 427) is used: 2 (high vs low) amounts of visual information and 2 (fast vs slow) levels of musical tempo in addition to a no-music condition. Two mediating variables are tested in the relation between the independent variables (musical and visual ones) and the dependent variable (perceived waiting time), mood and attention. Results of multivariate analysis of variance and a system of simultaneous equations show that musical cues and visual cues have no symmetrical effects: the musical tempo has a global (moderating) effect on the whole structure of the relations between dependent, independent, and mediating variables but has no direct influence on time perception. The visual cues affect time perception, the significance of which depends on musical tempo. Also, the "Resource Allocation Model of Time Estimation" predicts the attention-time relation better than Ornstein's "storage-size theory." Mood state serves as a substitute for time information with slow music, but its effects are cancelled with fast music.
