in nursing care. The study population consisted of 500 nurses working in a university hospital in Turkey between May

random sampling among the probabilistic random sampling methods (calculated with an acceptable error margin of 5% and
a confidence level of 99%). The data of the study were collected by a questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part of the
questionnaire consisted of 13 items with demographic information and the 3-point Likert type second part consisted of 16
items, prepared by the researchers in accordance with the literature, to determine the nurses' awareness about music. Frequency,
percentage, mean and standard deviation were used in the evaluation of the data. The average age of the nurses included in the

did not know which genre was effective on which problems, 87.6% stated that music was effective in redirecting attention of the
patients, 87.6% stated that music was effective in the recovery process, 82.1% stated that music facilitated patients' adherence to
