Summary

Delirium is highly associated with adverse clinical outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, including increased cognitive impairment, duration of intubation, ICU length of stay, mortality, physical dependence, and health care costs. This randomised controlled study will firstly develop a family-supported sensory stimulation package based on the literature review as well as the findings of the cross-sectional survey and the in-depth interview. The intervention effects than will be evaluated using outcomes including delirium incidence, delirium duration, delirium severity, ICU patients' consciousness and cognitive function as well as family members' satisfaction and anxiety. This study is expected to provide evidence of the effectiveness of family-supported sensory stimulation on preventing delirium among ICU patients.

Conditions

  • Delirium, Intensive Care Unit, Randomised Controlled Trial

Interventions

OTHER

Sensory stimulation

Sensory stimulation can be formed in different aspects, and the most important ones are visual stimulation and auditory stimulation. Visual stimulation interventions involved providing a calendar, clock or familiar objects such as photographs of family caregivers; while auditory stimulation included calling the name of patients, helping to orientate the time and location, introducing hospital information, the ICU surrounding and treatment, and communicating with patients, who could not talk due to artificial airway, through a blackboard and use of gestures.
