Pilot study on the effect of Yasiin recitation on the haemodynamics of ventilated patients
Introduction: Qur’anic verses recitations to ill patients are practiced by many Muslims as a form of healing and worship. The effectiveness has been observed in many medical institutions; however, it has never been objectively measured and documented. This pilot study was conducted to construct a...

| description | Introduction: Qur’anic verses recitations to ill patients are practiced by many Muslims as a form of healing and
worship. The effectiveness has been observed in many medical institutions; however, it has never been objectively
measured and documented. This pilot study was conducted to construct a methodological approach to evaluate
the therapeutic effects of Yasiin recitation on the haemodynamics of critically ill patients. Methods: Ventilated
Muslim patients in coronary care unit of a teaching hospital were evaluated. Yasiin was recited twice; by one of
the researchers and then by the patients’ relatives. Mean arterial blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation
level and electrocardiographic changes, were observed. The difference of the parameters before and during
recitation was analysed. Results: Five patients fulfilling the selection criteria were selected; two acute
myocardial infarctions, two congestive cardiac failures, and a third-degree atrioventricular block. Based on
a non-parametric two-related-sample test, the haemodynamic parameters were not significantly affected by
Yaasiin recitation. At the end of the study, two of the patients passed away, one patient was extubated and
survived. Two patients were still on ventilators when the study had been completed. Limitations in the study
were observed and highlighted in explaining the equivocal results. Conclusions: The effect of Yasiin recitation on
heamodynamics of patients was not proven in this study. Further refinements might be needed based upon the
observation on limitations encountered. It is hoped that this humble effort would pave the way for further
studies to explore this field. |
