The Effect of Holy Quran Recitation on the patientʹs vital signs before Open Heart surgery

Surgical operation is a stressor which causes physiologic reaction in the body . Pulse , respiration and blood pressure increase as the result of body reaction ; this increase may incur some risk . In this study , the effect of the Holy Quran recitation on the body physiologic reactions to stress is studied. This quasi - experimntal study included 61 patients randomly assigned into two groups: control and experimental . The vital signs of the subjects were measured at 8: 00 and 9: 00 pm. before operation. The experimental group listened to Noor , Ma ʹ edeh and Toubeh Quranic chapters two times (15 minutes each time ) via headphones. The control group did not listen to Quran recitation. The findings indicated no significant difference between pulse , respiration and blood pressure in the first stage between the two groups . However , the difference between pulse and respiration in the second phase was significant. Also, a significant difference was observed between the first and second phase variations of blood pressure in the two groups . There fore , listening to Holy Quran recitation induces a reduction in the physiologic responses of the body to stress; hence , the researcher suggests it for the reduction of the body physiologic responses to stress.
