There were 39 postpartum primipara selected in this study using simple random sampling divided into three groups: 1) the experiment group who received the nature music therapy for 15 minutes, 2) the experiment group who received the nature music therapy for 30 minutes, and 3) the control group. One-way ANOVA test was performed for data analysis.

Results: There was a statistically significant effect of the nature sound therapy on the cortisol level in the postpartum primipara, with p-value = 0.010 (<0.05).
