| Popis: | Aim The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of listening to the Holy Quran on the physiological responses of neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units. Methods The present clinical trial was conducted in Iran. The study sample consisted of 64 preterm neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (32 of whom were in the Quranic voice group that listened to voice of Quran and 32 in the control group). Neonates’ physiological responses including heart rate, respiratory rate, arterial oxygen saturation percentage, mean arterial pressure and temperature were recorded every 10 min in three stages: immediately before the intervention, during the intervention (minutes 10 and 20 from the onset of intervention) and 10 min after the intervention. Results According to the findings during the intervention and 10 min after the intervention, the mean heart rate of the neonates in the intervention group was significantly lower. The results of this study demonstrated that the mean respiratory rate of neonates was significantly less in the intervention group during the intervention (P Conclusion In this study, the Quranic voice was used and its effects on the vital signs of the neonates admitted to NICUs were evaluated. Based on the findings of this study, listening to voice of Quran is an effective technique in this regard. |
