Introdução – Em exames de tomografia de emissão de positrões (PET, do acrónimo inglês Positron Emission Tomography) com tomografia computadorizada (TC) a ansiedade pode interferir com a experiência do paciente e até com o diagnóstico. A música tem vindo a ser utilizada para controlo da ansiedade dos pacientes em inúmeros contextos clínicos. Objetivo – Verificar o efeito da música no controlo da ansiedade dos pacientes durante exames PET/TC. Métodos – Estudo exploratório onde foram incluídos 22 pacientes no grupo de controlo (GC) e 23 no grupo experimental (GE) que realizaram exame de PET/TC com fluorodesoxiglucose marcada com flúor-18 (18F-FDG). Os pacientes do GE ouviram música durante a aquisição de imagens, enquanto os do GC não. Todos os pacientes responderam a questionários sobre a experiência do exame (QEE) e a uma versão reduzida do questionário State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) antes do exame (AE) e depois do exame (DE). Procedeu-se ainda à medição da pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD) AE e DE. Resultados – Os valores do STAI-S não diferiram significativamente entre grupos, quer AE quer DE. Contudo, do AE para o DE verificou-se um aumento destes valores no GC e, em oposição, uma diminuição no GE. Comparando as PA entre o GE e o GC constatou-se que não existem diferenças significativas AE, mas existem DE, sendo que no GE os valores são inferiores aos do GC. No GE 91,3% dos pacientes relatou que a música é um auxílio durante o exame, classificando em média o nível de utilidade em 4,4 (0 a 5, sendo 5 o máximo). Conclusões – No presente estudo ouvir música parece ser eficaz no controlo da ansiedade em exames de PET/TC, mostrando-se os pacientes satisfeitos quanto à utilização desta técnica.
ABSTRACT - Introduction – The control of the anxiety of patients performing positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scans is quite important since this emotional reaction may interfere with the patient’ experience and can even compromise the diagnosis. Music has been used to control patients’ anxiety in several clinical settings. Objective – To verify the efficacy of listening to music in the control of patients’ anxiety in PET/CT scans. Methods – Exploratory study where 22 patients were included in the control group (CG) and 23 in the experimental group (EG). Both underwent fluoride-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT scan. The patients included in the EG listened to music during the image acquisition while the ones included in the CG did not. All patients answered to scan experience questionnaires as well as to a shortened version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) questionnaire before scan (BS) and after the scan (AS). Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure were also measured BS and AS. Results – STAI-S values did not differ significantly between groups both BS and AS. However, from BS to AS there was an increase in these values in the CG as opposed to a decrease in the EG. Comparing BP in the CG and EG, there was no significant differences BS but there were significant differences AS, being values in the EG inferior to the ones in the CG. In the EG, 91.3% of the patients reported that the music is an aid during the scan and the average utility level was of 4.4 (0 to 5, 5 the maximum). Conclusions – In the current study, listening to music seems to be effective in the control of patients’ anxiety during PET/CT scans and patients revealed to be satisfied regarding this technique.
