This report investigates the effectiveness of music therapy as an intervention for postoperative pain management, particularly in elderly patients, using an evidence-based practice (EBP) approach. The report begins by formulating a clinical question and PICO framework to guide the search for relevant research. It then discusses the process of acquiring evidence-based research, including search strategies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and critical appraisal of selected articles using tools like the CRAAP test. Several studies are analyzed, examining the impact of music therapy on pain reduction, anxiety, and physiological well-being following surgery. The report concludes by discussing the application of music therapy in clinical practice, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness and minimal side effects, and highlights the importance of regular audits to ensure the intervention's effectiveness. Desklib provides access to this and many other solved assignments for students.
