Clinical Trial Summary

After abdominal surgery, most patients experience problems such as respiratory complications, surgical wound infection, cardiac problems, renal failure, delirium, and insomnia, along with surgical trauma and underlying comorbidities. Postoperative delirium (POD) is an adverse postoperative complication that can occur in patients of all ages, from children to the elderly. Effective non-pharmacological treatment approaches for delirium include using an orientation board, calendar, clock, ensuring hydration, improving sleep quality, therapeutic activities, providing companionship of family members, and building private rooms. This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled and experimental study to determine the effect of eye patch and music on sleep quality and delirium in patients followed after abdominal surgery in the surgical intensive care unit.

It was planned to include a total of 34 patients who underwent abdominal surgery, 17 in the experimental group and 17 in the control group.

During the data collection phase, the Patient Information Form, Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale, Nursing Delirium Screening Scale and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, will be used.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale	It is a scale consisting of 6 items that evaluate the depth of night sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, the frequency of waking up, the time spent awake when waking up, the quality of sleep and the noise level in the environment. The 6th item, which evaluates the noise level in the environment, is excluded from the total score evaluation.; Each item is evaluated on a chart between 0 and 100 using the visual analog scale technique. A score between "0-25" from the scale indicates very poor sleep, and a score between "76-100" indicates very good sleep.	day 1 and 4 of the study
Primary	Nursing Delirium Screening Scale	The scale consists of 5 items, including disorientation, inappropriate behavior, inappropriate communication, illusion-hallucination and slowing down of psychomotor behaviors. Each item in the scale receives a value between 0 and 2 points, and the total score varies between 0 and 10. A score of two and above indicates delirium.	day 1 and 4 of the study
Secondary	Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale	It is a 10-point scale with four levels indicating anxiety and agitation (1-4), one level indicating calm and alertness (0), and five levels indicating sedation stages (-1;-5). Richmond agitation sedation scale scores range from +4 to -5. Positive RASS scores indicate agitated patients, negative scores indicate sedated or comatose patients.	day 1
