Research Methodology/Design: It is an experimental-randomised controlled study. Settings: The study was carried out with patients hospitalised in the Chest Diseases Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital and NIMV support. The participants consisted of 60 people, 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. Before starting the application in the intervention group, the book preferences of the patients were determined and the selected audio book was played to the patients with headphones via tablet/smartphone. No additional application was made to the control group.

Main Outcome Measures: Anxiety levels and vital signs in the intervention group were evaluated before, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 30 minutes after the end of the intervention. In the control group, only routine care continued and anxiety levels, and vital signs were assessed simultaneously with the intervention group.
