Purpose: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of nature-based sound therapy on patients during the separation from mechanical ventilator in a surgical intensive care unit.
Materials and Methods: This randomized was controlled experimental study conducted with 64 patients. The patients was divided into two groups as experiment (n=34) and control (n =34) group. Before separating from the ventilator, the eyes in the experimental group were closed and 30 minutes of nature-based sound therapy was applied. Patients' arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate, respiratory counts, oxygen saturation values, pain at both 0th and 30th minutes before and after each interventions and the 0th, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes of seperation from the ventilator, and anxiety levels were compared. Data were collected by personal information form, survey form, Face Pain Scale, Glaskow Coma Scale, Modified Smiley Face Scale, and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale.
Results: Clinical and statistically significant differences were found in the patients in the experimental and control groups for mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart and respiration rates, administration methods and measurement times. Pain, agitation and anxiety levels of the experimental group were found clinically and significantly lower than the control group.
Conclusion: Nature-based sound therapy applied in the process of separating the surgical patients from the intensive care unit from the mechanical ventilation support is effective in maintaining the arterial blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate in the normal range, and reducing the pain and anxiety.
