The aim of this study was to examine the effect of an education program and traditional music on anxiety in Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients. This study adopted a pretest and posttest quasi-experimental design. Sixty MI patients admitted to the ICCU of Sanglah Hospital were taken as a sample and assigned to either the experimental or control group. The intervention was given over three days during hospitalization. Anxiety was measured by a 6-item SAI and TAI, while noninvasive measurements were used in measuring physiological responses. The anxiety in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (t=−10.34, p<.05). However, the physiological responses were not statistically significant, except for the RR (t=−3.80, p<.05). This study provides empirical evidence to support the use of an education program and traditional music on anxiety among MI patients.
