Mother Tongue of Turkish Immigrant Children in Berlin: to Be or not to Be?
Authors: Kyuchukov Hristo
Published: January 2019

How do bilingual Turkish children develop their mother tongue knowledge in German kindergartens and what are some of the difficulties they face? These are the questions which this paper tries to answer. For this purpose, a study with Turkish kindergarten children from Berlin, Germany was conducted. A total of 40 children were divided into two groups between 3 and 6 years old and tested twice in a year with the TEDIL Test . The test consists of pictures and measures the knowledge of Turkish nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, and syntax. All of the children were tested individually by a native Turkish speaker and by the researcher. The testing was done in the kindergarten setting. The results showed that the knowledge of both age groups on different grammatical categories in Turkish was equal on the first test and there were no statistical differences. However, during the second test the group of older children showed a decrease in their knowledge of the grammatical categories in their mother tongue. This paper discusses the factors that influenced the regression in the knowledge of Turkish. This study is one of only a few on bilingual Turkish children and it presents new information about mother tongue loss among kindergarten children, discusses the reasons, and suggests that kindergartens and families should cooperate and work together in order to prevent mother tongue loss from a very early age as well as its effect on the cognitive development of bilingual children.

Authors: Rashtchi Mojgan , Moradzadehb Mosayeb
Published: January 2019

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of role playing in storytelling classes on Iranian young EFL learners’ narrative writing. Forty-seven pre-intermediate young EFL learners who were within the age range of 9 and 16 participated in this study. They were members of four intact classes, which consisted of two classes of boys and two classes of girls. One class of boys and one class of girls were randomly assigned to the experimental groups and the other two to control groups. The researchers used the role-playing technique for storytelling classes in the experimental groups and only reading stories aloud for storytelling classes in the control groups. After the treatment, the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was run to compare the four groups’ improvement on narrative writing. The results signified that the use of role playing in the storytelling classes had a significant impact on the narrative writing of Iranian young EFL learners as compared to the reading stories aloud technique. Furthermore, the findings showed that using role playing in storytelling classes enhanced learners’ understanding of the narrative writing style and patterns of the target language.
Personality as Predictor of Organisational Citizenship Behaviour: A Study in the Indian Information Technology Industry
Authors: Mukherjee Ujjal , Bhat Vinayak
Published: January 2019

The study concentrates on the important dimensions of personality traits and their influence on organisational citizenship behaviour. 169 engineers working in the IT sector of small and medium capital companies, with two or more years of
experience in the current organisation is chosen as the sample for this study. Personality traits are measured using Big-Five Inventory (BFI) developed by John, Donahue, and Kentle, 1991; Goldberg, 1992; Costa and McCrae (1992). Organisation
Citizenship Behaviour was measured using the 24-item scale created by Podsakoff et al (1990). Pearson correlation, linear regression and ANOVA are used to analyse the data. The regression statistics revealed that the relationship between ‘personality
traits’ and ‘organisational citizenship behaviour’ is significant. The key findings were that personality traits like extraversion, conscientiousness and agreeableness has a significant impact on organisational citizenship behaviour. The research
sample was geographically limited. The study is quantitative and may be inadequate in accounting for the personal bias of respondents.

Investigation and molecular Identification of circulating foot-and-mouth disease virus serotypes in the Duhok province- Kurdistan of Iraq
Authors: Ahmed Jivan , Ahmed Meqdad , Khanamir Ramadhan
Published: January 2019

Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) is considered as one of highly contagious and economically devastating viral infection of cloven-hoofed animals in Iraq. This study was performed to investigate the molecular characterization and typing of the current outbreak of FMDV in Duhok province of Kurdistan- Iraq.  A total of 15 epithelial samples were taken from clinically infected calves. These samples were subjected to RNA extraction and RT-PCR for the purpose of typing and detection as well as sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. All of 15 samples was positive for FMDV and detected as serotype O by multiplex RT-PCR. Furthermore, the sequences were shown a close relationship with Panasia topotype.  The limitation of these monitoring studies is that the partial sequencing is not adequate to monitor the circulating strain as it might hide some important changes unsequenced, therefore  the investigation of inclusion of complete gene of VP1 protein is highly recommended to get a complete picture of potential mutation on that immunogenic protein.
Angular Distribution of Delta Electrons in SAGE Spectrometer using Geant4
Authors: Ali F. , Hassan H.
Published: January 2019

This simulation work is intended to describe the angular distribution of (δ) electrons in a spectrometer that is designed for simultaneously measuring gamma-rays and electrons called SAGE Spectrometer using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The angular distributions were identified for various target materials including lead, gadolinium, tin, aluminium and carbon. In heavy ion atom collision, the direct ionization of the target elements and the scattering of electron due to the Two-Centre Coulomb forces are the dominant contributions. The direction of (δ) electrons produced in a heavy ion collision hitting a heavy element target is strongly focused in the forward and backward directions with a large suppression at perpendicular angles. For light element targets the (δ)  electrons are almost entirely forward focused. This indicates that the distributions are (Z) dependent. The main features of the (δ)  electrons coming from SAGE spectrometer are characterized by looking at their angular distributions produced from a reaction between a Ca48 ion beam and a lead target.

Published: January 2019

Background: Among the therapeutic alternatives complementary to humanized care, there is the vestibular stimulation. Provided by the gentle swing in a hammock, it simulates the containment and maternal movements found in the intrauterine environment and is considered a safe method that reduces stress levels in very low birthweight premature newborn (PTNB). Objective: To observe the time of hospitalization and the discharge weight of the PTNB that passed through the positioning in the hammock and kangaroo mother care. Methods: A quasi-experimental study involving two university hospitals including PTNB. The PTNB were allocated into two groups: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) composed by PTNB selected according to the maternal presence and vestibular stimulation (VS) composed by PTNB whose maternal presence was not possible. The KMC were kept in skin-to-skin contact with the mother. The VS were positioned in dorsal decubitus in a hammock of cotton adapted within the incubator. The time of hospitalization and weight monitoring were recorded daily by the nursing team in a collection form. Results: From the 40 PTNB included in this study, 47.5% were female and 40% had normal birth, 20 of them were allocated in the VS group and 20 in the KMC group. The time of hospitalization were not different between the groups (p=0.12), but the discharge weight were higher in the VS group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The data indicate that the hospitalization time is similar between the PTNB who received KMC and VS, and that the discharge weight is higher for the group that received the VS.
Molecular genetic basis of biofilm formation as a component of Vibrio Cholerae persistence in water reservoirs of Russian Federation
Authors: Titova Svetlana V. , Monakhova Elena V. , Alekseeva Ludmila P. , Pisanov Ruslan V.
Published: January 2019

Background. The problem of cholera remains acute for world health service and risks of importation of Vibrio cholerae strains from endemic countries to Russia do exist. Toxigenic strains (carrying cholera toxin genes ctxAB) can cause epidemic outbreaks of cholera and non-toxigenic (ctxAB-) single or multiple cases of cholera-like diarrhea. Investigation of their ability to survive in water reservoirs in climatic conditions of middle latitudes by means of forming biofilms is essential for potential threat evaluation.

Materials and methods. Biofilm formation by 15 V. cholerae strains on abiotic surfaces was studied in microcosms with tap water and cover glasses. Identification of responsible genetic determinants in whole genome sequences and bioinformatics analysis were performed using BioEdit 7.2.5, BLASTN 2.2.29, Blastp and Vector NTI Advance 11 software.

Results. The strains investigated differed in terms of biofilm formation which correlated with structural features of genes for MSHA pili (msh), matrix polysaccharides (vps) and proteins (rbm) as well as for certain regulatory factors. Strains with none or few genetic deviations from prototypes formed mature biofilms in 5-7 days while those containing truncated genes mshL, mshN, rbmC only in 13 days. One strain with truncated gene for positive regulator vpsR formed an immature biofilm. Acceleration of the process in some strains up to 2-3 days correlated with either truncated gene hapR (negative regulator) or altered structure of both msh and vps-rbm gene clusters.

Conclusion. Analysis of genetic determinants responsible for biofilm formation may be used for prediction of V. cholerae ability to survive in environmental objects of Russia and thus the potential danger of the latters as sources of infection.

Published: January 2019

Background. Almost all described flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) biodiversity is presented in VIR genetic collection(GC).
Materials and methods. 316 lines from GC belonging to 5 subspecies (indo-abyssinicum, hindustanicum, eurasiaticum, mediterraneum, transitorium) were characterized by morphological traits (MT), for some of them Mendels genetic control was evaluated.
Results. MT groups, genotypes typical for each of subspecies are revealed, but appearance of other phenotypes cannot be excluded, because subspecies can differ only in frequency of their occurrence. The genetic analysis was carried out. It expanded the list of MT genes. It was shown that many lines have similar mutations of MT regardless of their origin. Many MT genes are promising or already use in breeding for example YSED1 and ysed (yellow seed), pf-ad (pink flower, yellow seeds), dlb3 (pale blue flower), sfbs1 (white deformed flower). Soon lines carrier s1 gene (anthocyanin biosynthesis inhibitor), will be used because mucilage from seeds s1s1 has special polysaccharide compound and with wf1 (white flower) gene which is linked with early flowering. The linkage between the genes controlling dark blue flower (sfc6, sfc10) and yellow seeds (ysed2) was found, which must be taken into account while breeding for yellow seed.
Conclusion. The old landraces of GC can serve as source for any direction of breeding.

Authors: Nekrasova Irina V. , Potekhin Alexey A.
Published: January 2019

Ciliates are the model of choice to study RNA interference, the mechanism playing key role in biology of these protists. The genome scanning processes of two ciliates, Tetrahymena and Paramecium (Oligohymenophorea), leading to formation of the somatic genome from the chromosomes of the generative nucleus are compared in the review. Matching of several simulta neously present in one cell genomes is mediated by small RNAs and results in precise reproduction of maternal somatic genome in the sexual progeny.

Published: January 2019

The estimation of nodulation competitiveness of industrial strains against the native nodule bacteria and also the analyses of distribution of strains genotypes which formed nodules on roots of 4 plant species was the purpose of this work. The objects of the research were rhizobium strains which formed nodules on roots of plant (the nodule-forming units NFU), obtained in field experiment with application of preseeding processing of seeds of pea (Pisum satіvum L.), fava beans (Vicia faba L.), lathyrus (Lathyrus sativus L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris L.). The mixture of the collection strains allocated from nodules of peas and beans, and having various combinations of chromosomal and symbiotic genotypes was used for inoculation of seeds. Identification of NFU was carried out with the use of the analysis of the emitted nodule total DNA on several chromosomal markers: the rpoB gene and the hin-region, and the plasmid marker nodD gene. It is established that only about 50% of nodules were formed by the strains used at inoculation of seeds. Besides, the combinations of chromosomal and symbiotic genotypes specific for a rhizobium symbionts of concrete host plants have been established: IA genotype with sym-2 for P. sativum; IB genotype with sym-4 for V. faba. The results of this study create prerequisites for selection of couples: macro- and microsymbiont for the purpose of increasing efficiency of plant-microbial systems, in which the nature of symbiotic interaction defines efficiency of partners.

Background. The work is aimed to solve actual problems in biology of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM). Currently, a lot of mutants had been obtained in various plant model objects with defects in genes controlling AM development, however, the mechanisms controlling development of effective AM symbiosis are still unclear.
Materials and methods. The authors conducted a mutagenesis in Medicago lupulina, a new convenient model plant for molecular-genetic studies. High mycotrophic M. lupulina line have early and high response to mycorrhization, high seed production, as well as signs of dwarfism under conditions without of AM and low level of phosphorus available for plants. This method allows visually to identify plant lines with defects in AM symbiosis.
Results. 14 modes for mutagenesis by ethylmethanesulfonate were conducted. Usage of 3 mutagenesis modes allowed to obtain: productive M1 progeny with high part of viable seedlings (73.3%86.0%); 1405 plants in M2 progeny.
Conclusion. According to population analysis for mutant plants in M2 progeny (up to M9 generation) 15 plant lines were selected: one Myc plant line unable to form AM symbiosis, 4 Pen plant lines unable to form AM symbiosis, but characterized by appressoria formation; 3 Rmd plant lines forming low-activity ineffective AM symbiosis; 3 Rmd plant lines forming low-activity effective AM and 4 Rmd++ plant lines forming effective AM with high abundance of symbiotic structures (mycelium/arbuscules/vesicles) in the roots.

Published: January 2019

Background. A major problem of the environmental pollution with heavy metals, including cadmium, requires an intensive study of the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying the tolerance of plants to these toxic substances. In this study we present a comparative analysis of the expression of stress-related genes in two pea genotypes contrasting in tolerance to cadmium.
Materials and methods. A unique mutant of pea SGECdt, characterized by the increased tolerance to cadmium, and initial line SGE were used. Gene expression was analyzed by Real Time PCR. Results. In the line SGE cadmium increase the expression of genes, encoding catalase, chitinase, chitinase-like protein PRP4A and dirigent protein PI206. In the mutant SGECdt cadmium increase the expression of genes, encoding chitinase, glutathione reductase and defensin DRR230. In control samples expression of genes encoding PRP4A and DRRR230 was enhanced in mutant SGECdt versus line SGE.
Conclusion. It was shown that, the reaction of the mutant SGECdt at the molecular level differs from that of the line SGE. In the mutant SGECdt, a change in the expression of a number of genes is observed, which may indicate that cadmium entering the cell causes activation of defense reactions.

HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station) is an alternative technology of communication system that utilizes terrestrial and satellite systems. HAPS technology is in stratosphere layer with a height of 17-22 km above the earth's surface. HAPS has some advantages, which are wide range area, communication ability on line of sight (LOS), dan low propagation delay. One of the applications that can be employed in HAPS system is cellular with 5G technology. Cellular system is used in wireless communication since it has big capacity. This study analyzes the capacity of 5G cellular in single HAPS system in which the bandwidths used are 0.1 GHz and 1 GHz. Simulation result shows that outage probability using 0.1 GHz bandwidth resulting the capacity in single HAPS system, which is maksimum 550 users in reference cell can achive 10-15 and it also happen when using 1 GHz with maksimum 5500 users in reference cell*****HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station) adalah alternatif teknologi telekomunikasi sebagai pelengkap sistem eksisiting yaitu terestrial dan satelit. Salah satu aplikasi yang dapat digunakan dalam sistem HAPS adalah teknologi seluler 5G. Namun, interferensi merupakan salah satu masalah dalam mencapai kapasitas maksimum. Teknik multispot beam dan power control keduanya digunakan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Teknik multispot beam ini berfungsi seperti pada sistem antena BTS terestrial. Akan tetapi antena multispot beam pada sistem HAPS ditempatkan berdekatan pada satu wahana atau platform HAPS. Oleh karena itu sinyal interferensi dari tiap pengguna akan menempuh jarak lintasan yang hampir sama dengan sinyal yang diinginkan. Berbeda dengan sistem BTS terestrial di mana setiap pengguna mendapat kontrol daya dari BTS yang berada di setiap sel. Panjang lintasan yang diambil oleh setiap sinyal pengguna berbeda sehingga nilai shadowing juga berbeda. Paper ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kapasitas 5G seluler dalam sistem HAPS tunggal di mana bandwidth yang digunakan adalah 0,1 GHz dan 1 GHz. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa probabilitas outage menggunakan bandwidth 0,1 GHz menghasilkan kapasitas dalam sistem HAPS tunggal, maksimum 550 pengguna dan jika menggunakan 1 GHz maka maksimum jumlah pengguna adalah 5500 pengguna dalam referensi sel

Penyelenggara pos berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 38 Tahun 2009 tentang Pos adalah badan usaha milik negara, badan usaha milik daerah, badan usaha milik swasta dan koperasi. Namun kebanyakan badan usaha milik daerah, badan usaha milik swasta dan koperasi tidak menyelenggarakan layanan jasa pos pada pada kantor cabang luar kota dan daerah terpencil, karena dari sisi bisnis layanan jasa pos tersebut tidak menguntungkan. Oleh karena itu pemerintah dalam hal ini menugaskan PT. Pos Indonesia (Pesero) untuk menyelenggarakan layanan jasa pos pada pada kantor cabang luar kota dan daerah terpencil. Penugasan oleh pemerintah itu sendiri pada dasarnya sejalan dengan Undang-undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2003 tentang Badan Usaha Milik Negara. Dimana berdasarkan undang-undang tersebut Pemerintah dapat memberikan penugasan khusus kepada BUMN untuk menyelenggarakan fungsi kemanfaatan umum dengan tetap memperhatikan maksud dan tujuan kegiatan BUMN. Namun kewajiban pelayanan umum sektor pos yang diemban oleh PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) tidak sejalan dengan hukum korporasi. Entitas perusahaan perseroan (persero) yang disandang oleh PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) pada dasarnya diperuntukkan dengan maksud dan tujuan mencari keuntungan, sementara pelayanan umum seyogyanya diemban oleh BUMN dengan entitas perusahaan umum (Perum).

Ustanowienie stosunków dyplomatycznych między odrodzoną Rzeczpospolitą Polską a Stolicą Apostolską
Authors: Wilk Stanisław
Published: January 2019

The process of establishing diplomatic contacts between the Second Polish Republic and the See of Rome is a testimony to the efforts of the metropolitan bishop and the member of the Regency Council archbishop Aleksander Kakowski concerning the arrival of the See’s diplomatic representative to the Kingdom of Poland. The representative was hoped to help the Polish bishops in rebuilding shattered church organization and religious life of the congregation. In reply to the Polish bishops’ plea of 25 May 1918, Pope Benedict XV nominated the prefect of the Vatican Library prelate Achilles Ratti as an inspector in the Warsaw metropolis, whose jurisdiction was soon expanded to former Russian territories. Despite the fact that the inspector’s visit was of religious character, after Poland’s regaining of independence Ratti was in contact with Polish state authorities. He facilitated the See of Rome’s recognition of Poland and on 6 June 1919 Benedict XV nominated him a papal nuncio in Poland. Józef Piłsudski, the marshal of Poland, was handed the nomination letters on 19 July 1919.
Kapucyni prowincji polskiej wobec wydarzeń lat 1914-1921
Authors: Prejs Roland
Published: January 2019

The article presents political and domestic situation of the Polish province of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin between 1914 and 1921. The province witnessed a generational change of guard: friars remembering the secularization of monasteries conducted by Czar authorities in 1864 passed on and were replaced by friars accepted to the order after the tolerance decree of 1905. The number of monasteries increased to four: two old ones in Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą and Łomża, and two newly recovered in Warsaw (in 1918) and Lublin (in 1919). A breakthrough event was the visit by Eligiusz Jensen, the general definitor. Since the definitor ordered the return to old monastery practices, which were neglected after the secularization of 1864, for many friars this was equivalent to regaining independence by Poland. The definitor, in accordance with the requirements of the contemporary law of the order, reduced the Polish province to the rank of a commissariat, since it did not have the required number of friars, and changed its name from “Polish” to “Warsaw”, because another department of the order, the Kraków commissariat, was also within the borders of independent Poland. The only Capuchin who actively participated in the efforts for regaining Polish independence was Wiator Rytel (1883-1942). Other friars, focused on recovering old monasteries, could not take part in these actions.

The Sodality of Our Lady is a Catholic society for lay persons, initiated by Jan Leunis SJ in Rome in the 2nd half of the 16th century. Originally, the Sodality comprised students and later all classes and professional groups. The aim of this elite society was the formation of lay Catholics aware of their vocation in the Church, and propagation of the rite and the cult of Virgin Mary. The supreme goal of the Sodality was obeying the rule “Per Mariam ad Jesum”. The rules of the Sodality concerned visiting prisoners, working in hospitals, helping the poor and the ill, teaching faith, and Christian upbringing of youth. Sodalities deteriorated after the secularization of the Jesuit order, which was their basis in 1773. Towards the end of the 19th century they were being revived on the Polish lands. Sodalities of Our Lady combined religious devotion with the love of the homeland and efforts for the country’s benefit. During World War I the society engaged in charity helping in hospitals, welfare institutions, taking care of the disabled and orphans. Sodalities contributed particularly to the upbringing of the new patriotic generation of Poles. Regaining independence helped sodalities to develop their activities and contributed significantly to the rebirth of religious life of the society in the Second Polish Republic.

Poland and Spain are two countries with scarce relations at historical level. When in 1918 the end of the First World War and the coming of the Second Polish Republic take place, it is a fact. The image of Poland in Spain will be perceived through the problems of the Spaniards themselves. The peripheral nationalisms with secessionist cravings that see Poland as an example, or the strength of libertarian communism (anarchist) that sees in the Bolshevik revolution a solution for the Iberian country. Meanwhile, Polish nationalism, based on Catholicism, attracts a Spanish conservatism, also Catholic, that seeks to structure Spain with a new illusion. The chronicles of Sofia Casanova, the only Spaniard with the capacity to understand the Polish situation, will be an important source of information for the average Spanish citizen.

In November 1944 on the lands occupied by the Red Army, an anniversary of the creation of Ignacy Daszyński’s government was celebrated along with an anniversary of the October Revolution (for the first time in Polish lands) and preparations for the Polish National Independence Day were under way. This was an interim period starting the formation of a new political system of Poland. The prewar shape of political and social life was slowly giving way to that of PKWN (Polish Committee of National Liberation). This was evident in the preparation for celebrations of national holidays and anniversaries. Both prewar holidays, with anti-soviet overtones, and holidays taken over from USSR were celebrated.

Idosos não frágeis apresentaram melhor percepção da qualidade de vida em sete domínios do instrumento utilizado para avaliação. Houve correlação negativa, de moderada magnitude e estatisticamente significante entre sintomas depressivos e cinco domínios do instrumento de qualidade de vida. Verificou-se correlação entre fragilidade e sintomas depressivos (p=0,008). Conclusão: idosos institucionalizados frágeis e com sintomas depressivos apresentaram pior percepção de qualidade de vida.

Objetivo: compreender a percepção dos Coordenadores de Áreas Assistenciais de Enfermagem sobre a supervisão de enfermagem realizada pelos enfermeiros assistenciais no contexto hospitalar. Método: estudo de abordagem qualitativa, fundamentado na Teoria das Representações Sociais. Foram entrevistados 16 coordenadores de enfermagem de um hospital de ensino. Os dados foram analisados pelo método Conteúdo Qualitativo-Temático. Emergiram três categorias empíricas: Supervisão de Enfermagem: Ferramenta Gerencial que Qualifica o Cuidado, Imbricamento entre Administrar e Cuidar e Supervisionar: Reflexo do Processo Formativo e Contexto Institucional. Resultados: a significação dada pelo grupo social dos coordenadores sobre a supervisão de enfermagem praticada revela uma prática gerencial de controle e pouco educativa, porém com impacto positivo para a qualidade assistencial. Conclusão: a percepção dos Coordenadores de Áreas Assistenciais de Enfermagem sobre a supervisão de enfermagem revelou deficiências na implementação atribuídas às lacunas da formação, às demandas excessivas no trabalho e à falta de capacitação em relação à prática da supervisão.

Published: January 2019

Objetivo: relatar a vivência de três enfermeiras assistenciais na utilização do metrônomo durante manobras de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar em unidade de terapia intensiva. Método: trata-se de um relato de experiência que reflete a troca de informações, no cotidiano de trabalho, de três enfermeiras que atuam na unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital de grande porte em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. Resultados: o uso continuado do equipamento na ressuscitação cardiopulmonar tem sido indicado para auxiliar na realização das compressões torácicas. O som emitido pelo dispositivo não indica o término de cada ciclo na reanimação e/ou assegura a adequação da profundidade das compressões. Acrescenta ruídos ao ambiente, dificulta a comunicação da equipe multiprofissional e é mais um aparelho a ser configurado no momento da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar, impactando de forma negativa. Conclusão: o metrônomo, nessa experiência, não assegurou a qualidade na ressuscitação cardiopulmonar.

Published: January 2019

Objetivo: investigar os efeitos da audição musical sobre os níveis de ansiedade pós-operatória de acompanhantes de crianças submetidas a cirurgias em comparação ao cuidado convencional de uma clínica cirúrgica pediátrica. Método: estudo quase-experimental realizado em um hospital público de ensino com 62 acompanhantes de crianças em pós-operatório. O grupo controle – GC (n=32) foi submetido aos cuidados convencionais da unidade e o grupo experimental – GE (n=30) foi submetido à audição musical. Ambos os grupos tiveram os indicadores fisiológicos aferidos, nível de ansiedade mensurado por meio do Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado e responderam um questionário estruturado para caracterização da amostra. Resultados: GE apresentou médias mais elevadas e estatisticamente significativas nos itens do Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado sentir-se “à vontade”, “descansado”, “descontraído” e “satisfeito” em relação ao GC, após a audição musical. Conclusão: a audição musical tem o potencial de reduzir o nível de ansiedade pós-operatória dos acompanhantes de crianças submetidas a cirurgia.
