The study concludes that there was a significant difference in sleep quality in the intervention group that listened to music, compared to the control group. Listening to music on rest days improves subjective sleep in intensive care unit patients. Furthermore, there is evidence that listening to music reduces the subjective experience of noise in some patients.

The results from this study show that improved acoustics and music playback during lunchtime can improve mealtime mood, patient well-being, and social interaction, potentially supporting patient food intake and nutritional status. The results are discussed in relation to potential future implications for the health sector. Reference in Article: MusiCure in Healthcare & Acoustic images AKUART A/S - references to the authors:
