Abstract

Background: Anxiety is a psychological aspect that significantly influences pregnancy. In third-trimester pregnant women, anxiety manifests as concerns about the childbirth process, fear of death, birth trauma, and fear and pain leading up to childbirth, especially for primiparous mothers. One way to reduce anxiety is by implementing classical music therapy. Classical music therapy can induce relaxation, characterized by feelings of calmness and comfort. Objective: To determine the application of classical music therapy in third-trimester pregnant women with the nursing problem of anxiety. Methods: This study employed a case study design on a primiparous woman in her third trimester with a nursing diagnosis of anxiety. Results: The results showed a change in the participant's anxiety level after the application of classical music therapy. Before the music therapy intervention, the client felt anxious, restless, and fearful of adverse events occurring to the fetus due to a preeclampsia. Participant exhibited symptoms of restlessness, tension, high blood pressure (155/95 mmHg), and tachycardia (100 bpm), with a moderate anxiety score of 23. After the intervention, anxiety decreased, and feelings of worry and fear diminished. The client appeared relaxed, with a lower blood pressure (125/90 mmHg) and heart rate (75 bpm), and a reduced anxiety score to mild (score 13). Conclusion: The application of classical music therapy reduced anxiety in primiparous women in their third trimester.
