Abstract

The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of using Isan folk music on the sleep quality of infants. Participants consisted of healthy infants aged between 1-3 months, whose mothers received postpartum check-ups at a community hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima province. A purposive sampling method was used to select 40 participants, divided into a control group of 20 infants who did not receive Isan folk music and an experimental group of 20 infants who were exposed to Isan folk music for 20 minutes per session. The research instruments included Isan folk music, a general information recording form for the mothers and infants, and an infant sleep recording form. The infants' sleep was recorded at home using video between June and August 2023. General data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the mean sleep quality outcomes of the experimental and control groups were compared using the Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U Test.

The research results found that Isan folk music had effects on quality of sleep as follows: 1) the average sleep duration of the experimental group was significantly longer than the control group (p-value < 0.001); 2) the average respiratory rate during sleep of the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group (p-value < 0.01); 3) the average heart rate during sleep of the experimental group did not differ from the control group (p-value = 0.07); and 4) the average peripheral oxygen saturation levels during sleep of the experimental group did not differ from the control group (p-value = 0.40). Therefore, families or caregivers should be encouraged to use Isan folk music to help promote better sleep quality in infants. Moreover, this study provides a basis for further review and development of using Isan folk music to promote sleep quality in infants with colic and sleep problems.
