The Effects of Listening Music During Breathing Exercises

Patients in both groups underwent VATS with wedge recession and the same surgical methods were employed. After the surgery, the patients in the music group performed deep breathing and coughing exercises while listening to music for thirty minutes a day with a MP3 player (Goldmaster Goldsmart Mp3-159 Player) and head phones on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. We prepared a list of popular songs of different genres, including Turkish classical, folk, pop and rock music, classical music and foreign music, and allowed them to choose the song to be listened.
