Abstract
The effect of listening to the Quran on the vital signs of coma patients in surgical intensive care was investigated. This study was conducted as a relational and descriptive research. The sample size is 72. Data were collected in surgical intensive care clinics in a province. Demographic characteristics form, vital sign follow-up form and Glasgow Coma Scale were used to collect data. The average pulse rate of the patients before music therapy (Quran) was 88, and the average pulse rate after the intervention was 85, and the difference was significant (p=0.017). The mean systolic blood pressure of the patients before music therapy (Quran) was determined as 129.50 mmHg, and the mean systolic blood pressure after the intervention was determined as 125 mmHg, and the difference was significant (p=0.021). In comatose patients hospitalized in surgical intensive care, listening to the Holy Quran with headphones had a positive effect on vital signs.
