Background Sleep disorders in elderly individuals can negatively affect their comfort and quality of life. Due to its relaxing effect, music can be used as a supportive intervention in nursing care to improve sleep quality and comfort. Methods This study was conducted between January and April 2023 in the internal medicine department of a hospital in İzmir, Turkey. Patients aged 65 and older were divided into two groups using simple and stratified randomization: Music group: Listened to MusiCure® compositions for 30 minutes, three times a week, for one week. Control group: Received no intervention. Data Collection Process Data were collected face-to-face on the first and fourth days. The following scales were used: Richard Campbell Sleep Scale (to assess sleep quality) Short Form of the General Comfort Scale (to measure physical, psychological, and environmental comfort) Key Points Music intervention may positively affect sleep parameters such as sleep duration, sleep onset latency, and nighttime awakenings. Music can increase psychological and physical relaxation, enhancing comfort levels in elderly individuals. Considering individual music preferences may improve the effectiveness of the intervention. Ethical Principles and Approvals The study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of İzmir Bakırçay University and was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. This research aims to support the use of music interventions in nursing care and contribute to evidence-based practices to enhance sleep quality and comfort levels in elderly individuals.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"Ege University","enrollment":30,"countries":["Turkey (Türkiye)"],"start_date":"2023-01-01","completion_date":"2023-04-30","last_update_date":"2025-02-25","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06843941","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
