The Effect of Islamic Music Therapy for Reducing Pain in CKD Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

When patients with CKD are receiving hemodialysis, cannulation is frequently
performed. For hemodialysis patients, recurrent pain during cannulation is a severe
issue. Even though there have been many studies on music therapy, there are currently
few on Islamic music therapy’s effectiveness in easing cannulation pain. The study
aimed to determine the effect of Islamic music therapy in reducing pain in CKD patients
undergoing hemodialysis. This study used a pre-experimental design. 61 hemodialysis
patients at Wava Husada Hospital were subjects of the study. They were split into
two groups: the Islamic music therapy intervention group and the control group. In
this study, non-probability sampling was conducted. Inclusion requirements included
being Muslim, receiving hemodialysis for CKD, using AV fistula access, and not being
in critical condition. Following the intervention, the NRS pain scale was used to assess
the level of pain in each respondent. This study discovered that the control and Islamic
music therapy intervention groups experienced different levels of discomfort. This
study’s P value was 0.001 (0.05) according to the Mann-Whitney statistical test. Based
on the findings of this study, it can be said that using Islamic music therapy to treat
hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease can help them feel less pain.
