Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Anxiety; Anxiety Depression (Mild or Not Persistent); Satisfaction With Care

Keywords

Anxiety; Family; Depression; Satisfaction; intensive care unit

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale

  The scale consists of 14 items, seven items measure anxiety (HAD-A) and the other seven items measure depression (HAD-D). The scale is a four-point Likert-type scale with a total scoe of 0-42.

  10 minutes

• Visual Analog Scale

  The VAS-A consists of a 10 cm horizontal line ranging from 0 to 10, with zero representing the lowest level of anxiety and 10 representing the highest level.

  2 minutes

• Family Satisfaction in the İntensive Care Unit

  The scale consists of 24 five-point Likert-type questions and consists of three sub-dimensions: care, decision-making and knowledge. For each statement, respondents mark the most appropriate answer between 1 and 5, ranging from 5 (Excellent) to 1 (Poor). The higher the scores obtained from the scale, the higher the level of satisfaction.

intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The voice message prepared by a patient's relative, decided by the patient's family members, was recorded using a voice recorder. Before the voice message was recorded, the researcher met with the patient's relative and gave preliminary information about the message content (Table 1) in order to prevent the message from negatively affecting the patient. In the study, care was taken to ensure that the messages to be played to the patient were between 3-5 minutes and simple terms that could be understood by individuals with low educational level were used. The patient's relatives recorded the messages they wanted to convey to the patient with a voice recorder. The voice message was played to the patient by the researcher using a music pillow in the CICU . After the condition of the patient in the intervention group stabilized, a pretest (IIF, HADS, VAS-A, FS-ICU) was administered to the patient's relative, then a voice recording was prepared and the patient's relative's voice recording

Behavioral: Patient-Family Communication

Control

NO INTERVENTION

After the condition of the patients in the control group stabilized, a pretest (IIF, HADS, VAS-A, FS-ICU) was administered to the relatives. Afterwards, the relatives were routinely informed about the patient's general condition, treatment process, and needs.
