This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of the postoperative delirium prevention, diagnosis and intervention protocol in patients monitored in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery.
This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of the postoperative delirium prevention, diagnosis and intervention protocol in patients monitored in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery. The research was conducted at Antalya Training and Research Hospital between 06.03.2023 and 22.05.2023. The sample of the study consisted of 64 patients who underwent cardiac surgery and met the inclusion criteria. Within the scope of the study, patients were divided into two groups: control (32) and intervention (32). While the patients in the intervention group received care in line with the "Postoperative delirium prevention, diagnosis and intervention protocol", the patients in the control group received routine nursing care for delirium. The data of the study were collected using the Patient Identification Form, Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation, Glasgow Coma Scale, Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, Confusion Assessment Scale in the Intensive Care Unit, Nurse Diagnosis Form, Information Assessment Form for Postoperative Delirium (Pretest-Posttest) and Postoperative Delirium Prevention, Diagnosis and Intervention Protocol Checklist. In the first stage of the study, which consisted of three stages, the incidence of delirium in the control group patients receiving routine nursing care and the delirium diagnosis status of the nurses were determined. In the second stage, nurses were given training on postoperative delirium prevention, diagnosis and intervention protocol, and a preliminary study of the protocol was conducted. In the third phase, which is the last phase, patients in the intervention group received care in line with the "Postoperative Delirium Prevention, Diagnosis and Intervention Protocol".

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Confusion Assessment Scale in the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) | With the application of CAM-ICU, an evaluation is made as "there is delirium" or "there is no delirium". CAM-ICU; It consists of four items including sudden change of consciousness or fluctuation in the patient's level of consciousness, attention assessment, and evaluation of thought organization and level of consciousness. According to this scale, in order for patients to be diagnosed with delirium, the first and second items and one of the third or fourth items must result in favor of delirium. | Three weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) | It is used to evaluate the patients' state of consciousness. With a scale consisting of three parts: eye opening, motor and verbal response, the patients' response to stimuli in these three areas is evaluated and scored. It is evaluated between three and fifteen points, with fifteen points indicating full consciousness and three points indicating deep coma. In order for CAM-ICU to be applied to patients, the GCS score must be eight or above. If the GCS score is eight or below, the patient is considered to be in a coma and cannot be evaluated. |

| Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) | Before starting the delirium evaluation, the state of consciousness (alertness) is first evaluated. RASS takes values between "(+4)" and "(-5)". While the ideal level where the patient is alert and calm is scored as "0" on the scale, positive RASS scores "(+1,+2,+3,+4)" indicate an agitated patient; Negative RASS scores "(-1,-2,-3,-4,-5)" indicate patients who are sedated or in a coma. | Three weeks |
| Information Assessment Form for Postoperative Delirium (Pretest-Posttest) | The knowledge assessment form for postoperative delirium (Pretest-Posttest) was developed by researchers by scanning the literature in order to measure the knowledge levels of nurses working in intensive care units before and after training on postoperative delirium. For each item in the form consisting of 30 questions, answers were received from the participants as "True", "False" and "I don't know". "1" point was given for each "True" statement, and "0" point was given for each "False" and "I don't know" statements. The highest score that can be obtained from the test is "30". The form, consisting of items regarding the definition of delirium, risk factors, symptoms, prevention, diagnosis and intervention of delirium, was applied by the researcher to all nurses who attended the training before and after the training. | One week |
