Brief Summary

Aim of the Thesis and Hypotheses: (The aim of the thesis and hypotheses should be stated in detail.) In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the education given to the patients before cardiac surgery on the environmental stressors perceived by the patients in the intensive care unit. H1: The education given before heart surgery has an effect on the environmental stressors perceived by patients in the intensive care unit. H2: The education given before cardiac surgery has no effect on the environmental stressors perceived by patients in the intensive care unit.

Conditions

Education Of Patients

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• environmental stressors perceived by patients

  To determine the effect of education given before cardiac surgery on environmental stressors perceived by patients in the intensive care unit."Intensive Care Unit Environmental Stressors Scale" will be applied on the day the patients are transferred to the ward. The 4-Likert type scale consists of 42 items. The items evaluated as "It does not affect at all (1 point) ", "It affects very little (2 points)", "It frequently affects (3 points)" and "It affects too much (4 points)". The lowest total score is 42 and the highest total score is 168. The high score obtained from the scale indicates that there are many environmental stressors in the intensive care environment, and they negatively affect the patients.

  Patients transferred from the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit to the cardiovascular surgery service, on the day of transfer (postoperative 2-3rd day).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• patients' satisfaction

  postoperative period (postoperative 2nd or 3rd day)

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in the experimental group will be informed by the researcher in the training room in the ward 1 day before the operation (verbal permission was obtained) with an educational presentation on intensive care unit stressors.

Other: Education

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in the control group will not be given preoperative training on intensive care unit stressors by the researcher. Patients in the control group will receive standard care\*.

Interventions

Education OTHER

The education was designed to cover the environmental stressors of the intensive care unit and the practices performed to reduce these stressors. The education content was created according to the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Theory based on the institution's cardiovascular surgical intensive care unit protocols (Cardiovascular surgical intensive care unit visitor entry-exit rules information form) and the literature (included at the end of the presentation). Expert (intensive care nurses, ward nurses, cardiovascular surgeons and academic nurses) opinions were obtained. Patient-friendly and simple language was used to ensure that the content of the information presentation was acceptable and interesting.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The data will be collected and coded by the nurse researcher. Data will be analyzed by an independent statistician. The study groups will be disguised as A and B. The statistician will not know the groups. In addition, the statistical expert will not see the data of the experimental group regarding satisfaction.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Assistant professor

Model Details: The patients in the experimental group will be informed by the researcher in the training room in the ward 1 day before the operation (verbal permission was obtained) with an educational presentation on intensive care unit stressors. Patients in the control group will not be given preoperative training on intensive care unit stressors by the researcher. Patients in the control group will receive standard care\*.
