The Effect of Patient-Family Communication Via Audio Recording on Anxiety, Depression, and Satisfaction of Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CICU) Patients&Amp;Amp;Amp;#39; Relatives: Randomized Controlled Trial
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled blinded study. The sample consisted of 55 patient relatives (27 in the experimental group and 28 in the control group). The patient's relatives in the experimental group said what they wanted to say to their patient in line with the content determined by the researchers and recorded it using a voice recorder. The researcher played the recorded message to the patient, and the patient's feedback was conveyed to the patient's relative.
Visitor restrictions in coronary intensive care units (CICUs), which make it difficult for relatives to communicate with and support their patients, can lead to negative emotional reactions such as anxiety, depression and anger in family members. This study was conducted to determine the effect of playing the voice recording of the relatives to the patients hospitalized in CICU on the anxiety, depression and satisfaction levels of the relativesThe study was conducted as a randomized controlled single blinded study. The sample consisted of 55 patient relatives (27 in the experimental group and 28 in the control group). The patient's relative in the experimental group said what they wanted to say to their patient in line with the content determined by the researchers and recorded it using a voice recorder. The recorded message was played to the patient by the researcher and the feedback of the patient was conveyed to the patient's relative by the researcher. The relatives of the patients in the control group were routinely informed. The "Patient Relative Introduction Form", "Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS)", "Visual Analog Scale-Anxiety (VAS-A)" and "Satisfaction Scale of Families of Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit (FS-ICU)" were used to collect the data.
