Study Overview
Brief Summary
Sleep disturbances are known to be a prevalent problem in hospitalized, surgical patients, which is of importance since sleep disturbances can lead to a range of negative health outcomes. Music interventions have shown potential in improving sleep quality. Unfortunately, the studies on the effect of music on sleep in surgical patient populations are still scarce and of low quality. Therefore, the aim of this study is to study the effect of music on sleep quality in oncological, gastro-intestinal surgical patients in the form of a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be divided in 2 groups, a music group and a control group, where the music group will receive music interventions perioperatively. The researchers will compare both groups to see if there is a difference in sleep quality.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Subjective sleep quality assessed using a questionnaire
Time Frame: On the morning of day 2, 3 and 4 at the surgical ward
Using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sleep disturbance questionnaire, raw summary score
Secondary Outcomes
- Music listening during study period(During the (possible) intervention period, until day 5 postoperatively)
- Patient satisfaction using a self-made questionnaire(At the end of the study period, 30 days after discharge)
- Music preference and importance in daily life(At baseline)
- Cost consequences and cost-effectiveness(30 days after discharge)
- Objective sleep assessment(During the (possible) intervention period, until day 5 postoperatively)
- Anxiety(Every morning during the (possible) intervention period, until day 5 postoperatively)
- Subjective sleep quantity(During the (possible) intervention period, until day 5 postoperatively)
- Subclinical stess using(At baseline and at the end of the (possible) intervention period, at day 5 postoperatively)
- Postoperative quality of recovery using a questionnaire(At baseline, at the end of the (possible) intervention period (from start of study until day 5 postoperatively) and 30 days after discharge)
- Delirium incidence(During the entire hospital stay surrounding the surgery, up to day 30 postoperatively.)
- Quality of life score(At baseline, at the end of the (possible) intervention period (from start of study until day 5 postoperatively) and 30 days after discharge)
