Summary

This trial tests whether listening to music for 20 minutes can improve sleep quality and reduce risk perception in pregnant women hospitalized due to the threat of premature birth. Researchers will measure sleep using the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and risk perception with a pregnancy-specific scale. The study includes 80 women who speak Turkish, have a single pregnancy, and are aged 18 to 45.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
music therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, music therapy could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve sleep and ease anxiety about risk for pregnant women hospitalized with preterm birth threat.
What could go wrong
This is a small trial, and results may not apply to all women. Music therapy may not significantly change sleep or risk perception, and individual preferences vary.
