Materials & Methods: method is experimental pretest-posttest with control group. 45 women waiting
for cesarean section were assigned randomly in three groups (music therapy, voices of the Quran and
control group). All groups were tested with the Spielberger's State Anxiety Inventory, before

voices of the Quran group was played. Spielberger's State Anxiety again was performed in three
groups..

control group scores was significant and anxiety scores in both groups against the control group was
declined. Also the results show that the difference in anxiety scores between the two groups of voices
of the Quran and music is significant and mean of anxiety scores in voices of the Quran group in
posttest lesser than mean of scores in music group.
