Clinical Trial Summary
This research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to examine the effect
of using eye mask and earplugs in preventing delirium with evidence-based nonpharmacological
nursing interventions in intensive care units.
Description:
In the prevention of delirium, the necessity of using a multicomponent, nonpharmacological
interventions is emphasized and focused on nursing interventions. In this regard, it is
believed that the use of eye mask and ear plugs, which have recently started to take place in
the guides, as well as known evidence-based nursing interventions, will provide nurses with
power to improve delirium-related outcomes.
The research is expected to consist of intervention and control groups older than 18,
volunteering to participate in the research, which the expected length of stay in the ICU
more than 24 hours at Başkent University Ankara Hospital. Data will be collected through
Patient Information Form, APACHE II, Glasgow Coma Scale, Richmond Sedation Agitation Scale,
Nursing-Delirium Screening Scale, Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale and Daily Monitoring Form. In
preparation step of the research, nurses will be trained, guidelines are required for nurses,
necessary interventions will be planned. At the application stage , after determining the
experimental and control groups, eye mask and ear plugs will be given before going to sleep
in addition to the patients in the experimental group, before going to sleep, and followed
for three days. Also, it will be examined through a semi-structured interview technique for
the examination of patients in the experimental group.It is believed that the early diagnosis
of delirium, nonpharmacological interventions to be implemented will affect the
diagnosis-treatment costs positively by reducing morbidity and mortality rates.
