About this study
Official title: The Effect of Visual and Auditory Stimulation on Dyspnea, Sleep Quality, and Anxiety Levels in Intensive Care Patients
This study is a randomized controlled experimental clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of visual and auditory stimulation on dyspnea severity, sleep quality, and anxiety levels in patients receiving noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support in a secondary-level cardiac intensive care unit. A total of 44 patients (22 in the intervention group, 22 in the control group) are planned to be included in the study. Patients in the intervention group will be exposed to images of the Northern Lights projected onto the ceiling and white noise simultaneously for 30 minutes each night over two nights. The control group will receive no intervention other than routine nursing care. Data will be collected using the Dyspnea-12 Scale, the State Anxiety Inventory, the Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale, and a physiological parameters form. The study results are expected to contribute to evidence-based practices aimed at reducing dyspnea and anxiety, improving sleep quality, and enhancing patient comfort in intensive care patients through non-pharmacological methods.
Read the detailed description
Intensive care units (ICUs) are clinical settings where critically ill patients receive treatment and care. The use of advanced medical technology and exposure to environmental stressors may increase patients' physical and psychological stress. Patients receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) may experience dyspnea, anxiety, and sleep disturbances due to respiratory failure, discomfort caused by the face mask, air pressure delivered by the device, and environmental factors. These problems may adversely affect patient comfort, treatment adherence, and overall well-being. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions are needed to support patient comfort while minimizing potential complications associated with pharmacological treatments.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of visual and auditory stimulation on dyspnea severity, sleep quality, and anxiety levels in patients receiving NIMV support in a secondary-level chest intensive care unit. In this study, Northern Lights projections displayed on the ceiling will be used as the visual stimulus, and white noise will be used as the auditory stimulus. These interventions are expected to promote relaxation by diverting patients' attention from environmental stressors in the ICU, thereby potentially reducing dyspnea and anxiety and improving sleep quality.
This study is planned as a randomized controlled experimental clinical trial. It will be conducted in the Secondary-Level Chest Intensive Care Unit of Sancaktepe Prof. Dr. Feriha Öz Emergency Hospital, following the acquisition of the required ethics committee approval and institutional permissions. Data collection is planned between June 2026 and June 2027. A total of 44 patients aged 18 years or older are planned to be included. Eligible participants will be conscious, fully oriented, cooperative, receiving NIMV support, and willing to participate in the study. Participants will be allocated to an intervention group (n = 22) or a control group (n = 22).
Patients in the intervention group will receive simultaneous visual and auditory stimulation for 30 minutes on two consecutive nights. During each session, Northern Lights images will be projected onto the ceiling, while white noise will be played through a speaker. On the first night, dyspnea severity and state anxiety will be assessed immediately before and after the intervention. Sleep quality will be evaluated at 08:00 the following morning. On the second night, assessments of dyspnea and anxiety will again be performed before and after the intervention. Sleep quality will be reassessed at 08:00 on the following morning. Patients in the control group will receive routine nursing care without the additional intervention and will undergo the same assessments according to the study protocol.
Data will be collected using a Patient Identification and Clinical Data Form, the Dyspnea-12 Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (state anxiety subscale), the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, and a Physiological Parameters Form. Patients' blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation values will also be recorded. Statistical analyses will be performed using appropriate descriptive and comparative tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the potential effects of combined visual and auditory stimulation in patients receiving NIMV support in intensive care settings. The study may contribute to the development of evidence-based, patient-centered, non-pharmacological nursing interventions. If the intervention is found to be effective, it may provide a basis for practical care strategies designed to improve patient comfort in intensive care units.
