Abstract
A quasi experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy on level of breast milk secretion among postnatal mothers in selected hospital, Kanya Kumari district. Quasi experimental, pretest and post test control group design was adopted for this study. Purposive sampling technique was used to assess the effectiveness of music therapy. Out of the 60 samples, 30 samples were in study group and 30 samples in control group. The data was collected from the selected postnatal mothers and the Modified Christi breast feeding assessment tool was used to assess the level of breast milk secretion. Demographic variables like age, education, occupation, Religion, type of food and parity were selected. The researcher provided music therapy to the study group. The researcher conducted the study for a period of 4 weeks. The post assessment was conducted in the study group and control group. The findings reveals that, in study group, the mean score on level of breast milk secretion among postnatal mothers in study group was 2.47 in pre assessment and 5.90 in post assessment respectively. The estimated ‘unpaired t’ value was 17.25 which was significant at p < 0.05. Hence the research hypothesis (H1) is accepted. The mean score on level of breast milk secretion among postnatal mothers in study group was 7.34 and in control group was 5.90. The estimated unpaired “t” value was 4.91 which is significant at p<0.05. It shows that Music Therapy was effective and improved the level of milk secretion. Hence the research hypothesis (H2) is accepted. In Study group and in control group the Calculated value of demographic variables were lesser than the table value which indicates that, there is no significant association between breast milk secretion and demographic variables . Hence the hypothesis (H3) is not accepted. As per the study the researcher concludes that the Music therapy had an effect on level of breast milk secretion and improves it.
