Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Arm1: Listening to music during surgery
Patients listened to the type of music preferred by them during the cesarean section surgery starting from surgical incision to wound dressing was done with an over-ear headset.
The music was selected by opening a playlist in the style the patient desired from a music application. It was confirmed by asking the patients that headphones were playing the music. The sound level that patients felt comfortable with was adjusted. Listening to music was not stopped during the surgery. If music was stopped during surgery, patients were asked to inform this.Patients who refused to listen to music intraoperatively or who had to remove their headphones for any reason were not included in the study.

Arm 2: Isolating patients from ambient operating room noise.
A group of patients wore headphones starting from the surgical incision until wound dressing was done without listening to any music. Headphones were only used to keep the patients away from the operating room noise.

An anaesthesiologist performed all the interventions in the operating room. All surgeries were performed under regional anaesthesia (combined spinal- epidural anaesthesia).
No sedative medication was administered to any patient.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 336319 0
Anxiety
Timepoint [1] 336319 0
Within a month before the surgery, at the Anesthesiology and Reanimation outpatient clinic (It is not a certain date, because patients come to the Anesthesiology and Reanimation outpatient clinic after they have been examined by an obstetrician and decided to cesarean section. This can be either three weeks or one week before the surgery.), on the morning of the day of cesarean section surgery, at the obstetric service where the patients were, at the 1st postoperative hour.

The primary timepoint is the 1st postoperative hour.

Statistical methods / analysis
The main goal of the study was to figure out the differences in STAI-SA throughout the follow-up period among groups. A total sample size of 84 was required (28 for each group) to detect at least a 0.40 effect size (a.k.a. Cohen’s F) among groups with a power of 80% at the 1.67‰ significance level in terms of Bonferroni correction. The value of 0.40 was taken from our clinical experiments. Sample size estimation was performed using G*Power (Franz Faul, Universität Kiel, Kiel, Germany) version 3.0.10.

Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0 software (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, US). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to investigate whether the normal distribution assumption was met. Homogeneity of variances was examined Levene test. Categorical data were expressed as numbers (n) and percentage (%) while quantitative data were given as mean ± SD and median (25th - 75th) percentiles. While the mean differences among groups were compared One-Way ANOVA, otherwise the Kruskal Wallis test was applied for the comparisons of the continuous variables which the parametrical test assumptions were not met. When the p-values from One-Way ANOVA were statistically significant, post-hoc Tukey HSD test was used to know which group differ from which others. Categorical data were analyzed Pearson’s 2 or Fisher Freeman Halton test, where appropriate. While the mean differences in HR and, mean blood pressure measures among follow-up time were compared Repeated measures of ANOVA via Wilks’ Lambda test, otherwise the Friedman test was applied for the comparisons of STAI and VAS. When the p-values from Wilks’ Lambda or Friedman test were statistically significant, Bonferroni adjusted multiple comparison or Dunn-Bonferroni test was used to know which follow-up time differ from which others. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. However, for all possible multiple comparison, the Bonferroni Correction was applied for controlling Type I error.
