Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, yoğun bakım hastalarında kulak tıkacı ve göz bandı kullanımının hastaların uyku sorunları ve uyku kalitesi üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Bu deneysel araştırma Haziran 2017 - Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinin dahiliye yoğun bakım ünitesi, göğüs hastalıkları yoğun bakım ünitesi ve kardiyoloji yoğun bakım ünitelerinde tedavi görmekte olan 29 hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılar; kulak tıkacı, göz bandı ve kontrol grubu olmak üzere üç farklı gruba ayrılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler; “Birey Tanıtım Formu”, “Yoğun Bakım Ünitesinde Uyku Kalitesi Soru Formu”, “Richards Campbell Uyku Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hastaların çoğunluğunun kadın, evli, ilköğretim mezunu, ev hanımı ve sosyal güvencelerinin olduğu görülmüştür. Kontrol grubu, göz bandı grubu ve kulak tıkacı grubundaki hastaların Richards Campbell Uyku Ölçeği puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır (F = 9,379, p = 0,001). Göz bandı grubundaki hastaların Richards Campbell Uyku Ölçeği puan ortalamalarının, kulak tıkacı grubu ve kontrol grubundaki hastalarınkinden yüksek bulunmuştur (p < 0,001). Ayrıca, kulak tıkacı grubu hastalarının ölçek puan ortalamalarının da kontrol grubundakilerden yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p < 0,001).
Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları, yoğun bakım ünitesinde göz bandı ve kulak tıkacı uygulamalarının uyku kalitesini artırmada etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Yoğun bakım kliniklerinde hastaların uyku sorunlarını çözmede uygun araç-gereç ve yöntemlerin kullanılması, hemşirelik bakım planlarının uyku sorunlarına göre düzenlenmesi ve ekip üyelerinin bu konuda bilgilendirilmelerinin yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

The Effects of Ear-Plugs and Eye Band Usage on Sleep Problems and Sleep Quality in Intensive Care Patients

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of earplugs and eye masks on sleep disturbance and sleep quality in intensive care patients.
Method: This experimental study was conducted between June 2017 and December 2018 with 29 patients treated in the internal medicine intensive care unit, pulmonary intensive care unit and cardiology intensive care unit of a university hospital. Participants were divided into three groups: earplug, eye mask and control groups. Data were collected using the Participant Information Form, the Intensive Care Unit Sleep Quality Questionnaire, and the Richards Campbell Sleep Questionnaire.
Results: It was found that the majority of participants were female, married, primary school graduates, housewives and on social security. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean Richards Campbell Sleep Scale scores of the patients in the control group, eye mask group and earplug group (F = 9.379, p = 0.001). The mean Richards Campbell Sleep Questionnaire scores of patients in the eye mask group were statistically significantly higher compared to the earplug and control groups (p < 0.001). In addition, the mean scores of the earplug group were also significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the use of eye masks and earplugs in the intensive care unit is effective in improving sleep quality. It is recommended that appropriate tools and methods be used to address sleep problems in intensive care unit patients, that care plans be adjusted according to sleep problems, and that health care team members be educated about this issue.
