Description / Abstract

This project examines the effect of playing live, violin music at the bedside of high-risk pregnant patients staying in the Perinatal Special Care Unit at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns. Before and after the music session, blood pressure, heart rate and mean arterial pressure were measured. Positive written feedback from each patient regarding their experience included themes of the music helping them to feel relaxed and connected with their baby. Patients also verbalized how the music was a memorable and special experience to have in the hospital.
