Abstract
BECHERT CAMINHA, L.; DA SILVA, M.J.P. and RIBEIRO LEAO, E.. La influencia del ritmo cuaternario en la percepción de los estados clínicos y subjetivos de pacientes adultos en hemodiálisis. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.23, pp.1-12. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1695-61412011000300001.
The treatment of hemodialysis patients requires intense restrictions and the need for constant dialysis sessions directly influences the quality of their lives. The objective of this study was to determine how the pace compounds influences the perception of time and emotions and the appearance of the most common complications (hypertension and pain) during hemodialysis in relation to musical intervention. The study was conducted in a private hospital with 38 patients on hemodialysis, who underwent a session of musical improvisation on a keyboard, in which the subjective, clinical status and time perception were assessed as controls during and after the intervention. More than 80% of patients felt better and also noticed the time go faster, after the intervention. In the clinical setting, the study suggested that improvised music acted positively, but it was not a decisive factor in the decrease of the tables of hypertension and pain.
