The study was conducted to determine the effects of therapeutic touch applied to intensive care patients on pain, delirium, sleep and physiological parameters.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of therapeutic touch on pain, delirium, sleep, and physiological parameters in surgical intensive care patients. Patients will be assessed at 24, 48, and 72 hours. The intervention and control groups will be randomized. The intervention group will receive routine care and therapeutic touch, while the control group will receive only routine care. Parameters will be assessed before and after each measurement.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| VAS (Visual Analog Scale) | Pain intensity measured using a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain). | At 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after ICU admission (pre-intervention). |
| RASS (Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale) | Sedation/agitation level scored from +4 (combative) to -5 (unarousable). | At 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after ICU admission (pre-intervention). |
| RCSQ (Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire) | Sleep quality assessed with RCSQ, range 0-100. | At 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after ICU admission (pre-intervention). |
| Blood pressure | Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured using standard bedside monitoring in the intensive care unit. | At 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after ICU admission (pre-intervention). |
| Heart rate | Heart rate measured using continuous bedside cardiac monitoring in the intensive care unit. | At 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after ICU admission (pre-intervention). |
| Respiratory rate | Respiratory rate measured and recorded as breaths per minute using bedside monitoring. | At 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after ICU admission (pre-intervention). |
| Body temperature | Body temperature measured using a standard clinical thermometer in the intensive care unit. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
