Summary

This randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effects of non-pharmacological interventions used within the framework of a healing care environment on sleep disturbances in children hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The study aimed to support sleep quality by reducing environmental stimuli and promoting comfort through supportive nursing interventions.

The interventions included the use of an eye mask and headphones with audiobooks in addition to standard nursing care. Children aged 6-15 years who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to control and intervention groups. Sleep disturbances were evaluated using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children, and physiological parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and body temperature were monitored throughout the study process. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based non-pharmacological nursing interventions aimed at improving sleep quality and supportive care practices in the PICU environment.
