Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of twin therapeutic approaches on pain and anxiety among patients following cardiac surgery. An evaluative approach with quasi experimental design was used for the study. 40 samples were selected by non probability convenience sampling technique. Intervention of Naadichudhi Pranayams and Instrumental music was given as twin therapeutic approaches for the samples in the study group. The present study was conducted in Sri Ramachandra Hospital, Chennai, India. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A significant difference was found between pre test and post test in level of pain and anxiety (P<0.001). The study findings showed that the twin therapeutic approaches were very effective in reducing the pain and anxiety. There was no association found between level of pain and anxiety with demographic variables.
