简要总结
This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effect of music listening on the initial mobility level of children who underwent appendectomy. The study was conducted at Ankara Etlik City Hospital, Pediatric Surgery Clinic, between March and May 2025. A total of 68 children aged 6-18 years, with no other systematic diseases and who consented to participate, were included. The music group consisted of 34 children and the control group of 34. A specially designed music pool, tailored separately for 6-11 and 12-18 age groups, was developed through child interviews, expert opinions, national education materials, and evidence-based motivational music. Children in the music group listened to music postoperatively, while the control group received only standard clinical care. Data were collected using the Child Information Form, Patient Mobility Scale, and Observer Mobility Scale.

研究组 & 干预措施
Music Group Implementation
Before surgery, children were asked whether they enjoyed listening to music and what styles of music they liked.
- A 30-minute playlist was created using songs from the music pool based on the child's preferences.
- Children were informed about postoperative mobility and which movements they would be expected to perform.

结局指标
主要结局
Patient Mobility Score (Patient Mobility Scale Score)
时间窗: immediately after the surgery
Completed by the patient. The six-item scale evaluates three key postoperative mobilization activities: sitting on the bedside, standing at the bedside, and walking in the patient room. Each item is scored between 0 and 15, with the total scale score ranging from 0 to 90. Higher scores indicate greater pain and difficulty during mobilization, while lower scores reflect reduced pain and ease of movement.
The Observer Mobility Score (The Observer Mobility Scale Score)
时间窗: immediately after the surgery
Completed by the observer. The Observer Mobility Scale developed by the same authors as a complementary dimension to the Patient Mobility Scale, evaluates objective observations of the same three postoperative activities. Each item is scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with a total score range of 3 to 15. Higher scores reflect poorer mobility performance, while lower scores indicate better and more adequate postoperative mobility.
