Abstract Aim of the study: Studies investigating the impact of pre- or postnatal music exposure on child development are scarce. Therefore we conducted this pilot study. Material and Methods: Five hundred pregnant women, 246 primigravidae and 254 multigravidae were interviewed about listening to, singing and performing music during pregnancy and after birth. Chi-sqare, Wilcoxon and Mc Nemar tests were used to calculate significant differences. Results: Prenatally, 361/500 women (72,2%) listened to music at least once/week, 129/500 women (25,8%) answered to sing at least once/week and 23/500 (4,6%) performed music regularly. While listening to music was equally distributed when considering maternal age, education and parity, singing was more frequent in mothers of advanced age (p=0.031), higher education (p=0.001) and parity (p=0.001). In multigravidae, listening decreased from 72,4% prenatally to 59,2% postnatally (p<0.002); however, singing increased from 36% to 46,4% (p<0.001) from pre- to postnatally, both independent of education and maternal age. Singing during pregnancy was more frequent in women of higher qualification compared to secondary and basic education: 39,6% versus 20,8% and in women of maternal age> 30: 31,4% compared to < 30: 17,5% (p<0.001). Conclusion: Our study should be a basis for further interventional programs relating to neurodevelopment and bonding. |
