Summary
Several studies have demonstrated that music can improve various outcomes during labor and delivery. However, many of these studies didn't measure satisfaction rate accurately. This study aim to assess patient satisfaction in the setting of music or no music during the cesarean delivery. The study will be conducted in the labor and delivery unit and the expected number to enroll and complete the study is 22.
