| Group | Cortisol (µg/dL) |
sAA (U/mL) |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Day | 6-Week | 3-Day | 6-Week | |
| Standard care group (n = 58) | 0.63 ± 0.12 | 0.49 ± 0.05* | 65.34 ± 8.45 | 58.20 ± 7.80* |
| Music therapy group (n = 62) | 0.65 ± 0.09 | 0.34 ± 0.04* | 64.87 ± 8.20 | 50.35 ± 7.15* |
| t | 1.037 | 18.20 | 0.309 | 5.752 |
| P | 0.302 | <0.001 | 0.758 | <0.001 |
sAA = salivary alpha-amylase; *Compared to 3-day postpartum, P < 0.05.
