Abstract:
Pain is one of the complaints that is often experienced by cancer patients due to treatment, cancer cell metastasis, or both. One of pain managements is using non-pharmacological therapy such as music therapy and murottal therapy or listening to the recitation of the holy Quran. This scoping review aims to compare music therapy and murottal therapy in pain management in breast cancer patients. The review methodology was used to map relevant evidence, synthesize findings, define keywords, and search for relevant articles from the EBSCO, Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed databases. The next stage is selecting articles using PRISMA diagrams, data mapping, collecting, and summarizing findings. The results of the analysis revealed that music therapy provides a comfortable and relaxing effect. It is able to calm the soul, structured, and also universal, resulting in a decrease in pain intensity, while murottal therapy causes feelings of resignation and can cause respondents to think about the greatness of God making the respondents feel calmer, relaxed, and respond well. Music therapy can reduce 2 to 3 pain scales, while murottal therapy can reduce 4 pain scales. This proves that murottal therapy is more effective than music therapy.
