Clinical Trial Summary

This study was planned to investigate the effects of eye patch and headphones on sleep quality, anxiety, fear and vital signs in coronary intensive care unit patients.

Description:

In intensive care units, it can be much easier to change the environment perception of patients with simple tools such as headphones and sleep bands, rather than changing the environment of the patients. The use of sleep bands and headphones, which are non-pharmacological methods, can reduce sleep deprivation by changing the environmental perception of the patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual Analog Scale (Fear)	Patients are asked to show the severity of their fear on a 10 cm long vertical or horizontal line. In addition, there were forms which were numbered from 1-10 or from 1-100. The number 0 is found at the beginning of the line, and the number 10 is located at the end of the line. A value of 0 shows that there is no pain, and the value 10 expresses unendurable pain. GAS is a common scale in the assessment of pain level. A patient is asked to mark the perceived pain on this line, and the marked point is measured in cm.	the first day after receiving randomisation
Primary	Visual Analog Scale (Anxiety)	Patients are asked to show the severity of their anxiety on a 10 cm long vertical or horizontal line. In addition, there were forms which were numbered from 1-10 or from 1-100. The number 0 is found at the beginning of the line, and the number 10 is located at the end of the line. A value of 0 shows that there is no pain, and the value 10 expresses unendurable pain. GAS is a common scale in the assessment of pain level. A patient is asked to mark the perceived pain on this line, and the marked point is measured in cm.	the first day after receiving randomisation
Primary	Vital Signs Follow-up Form	This form was created by the researcher in order to record the systolic-diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate (pulse), values of the patient who was applied an eye patch or earphone at night.	the first day after receiving randomisation
Primary	The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire	This brief five-item questionnaire was used to evaluate perceived sleep depth, sleep latency (time to fall asleep), number of awakenings, efficiency (percentage of time awake), and sleep quality. It also includes a sixth item evaluating perceived night-time noise. Each item is evaluated on a scale of 0-100 with a visual analogue scale technique. A score of 0-25 indicates very poor quality sleep, whereas a score of 76-100 indicates very good sleep quality.	the first day after receiving randomisation
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale (Fear)	Patients are asked to show the severity of their fear on a 10 cm long vertical or horizontal line. In addition, there were forms which were numbered from 1-10 or from 1-100. The number 0 is found at the beginning of the line, and the number 10 is located at the end of the line. A value of 0 shows that there is no pain, and the value 10 expresses unendurable pain. GAS is a common scale in the assessment of pain level.
