Summary

In intensive care units, the sleep quality of patients decreases considerably due to reasons such as alarm sounds of some special devices, the number of healthcare professionals working in comparison to other clinics, their circulation is high, and the lights are constantly on.Studies conducted in intensive care units to facilitate the transition of patients to sleep and to improve sleep quality;has revealed that non-pharmacological applications increase sleep time and quality, reduce sleep disturbance,delirium,post-traumatic stress disorder and duration of stay in the intensive care unit.Although wearing earplugs and eye masks is a cost-effective and safe method and can improve perceived sleep quality in patients,eye masks and ear plugs are sometimes not comfortable.While the ear plugs dislocate during night sleep may cause the patients to wake up again,there are also situations such as the eye masks not being sized properly for the patients' eyes,and the part of the mask surrounding the head is thin and tense, disturbing the patient.By eliminating this situation that disturbs the patients, other solutions are needed to increase the quality of sleep without being affected by intensive care light and noise.

The project was planned to determine the effect of the ergonomic sleep mask on the sleep quality and comfort of patients in surgical patients whose treatment and care continues in intensive care units.The sample of the project consists of 128 patients by performing power analysis.Patients will be divided into two groups as 64 randomized patients in the control and experimental groups by applying block randomization.While there is no application to the experimental and control groups on the first night, an ergonomic sleep mask will be worn to the experimental group,and an ear plug and eye mask will be worn to the control group.At the end of the first night and the second night, the sleep quality of the patients will be evaluated with the 'Richard Campell Sleep Scale' and their comfort levels with the 'Visual Analogue Scale'.The data of the project will be collected using the Patient Information Form prepared in accordance with the literature. In the analysis of the data,Mann-Whitney U test, t test in independent groups, one-way ANOVA test and correlation analysis will be done.
