About

This study was carried out to determine the effect of the use of communication material on the anxiety and comfort of the patient in communication with patients receiving mechanical ventilators.As a result, the use of communication material reduces anxiety and increases patient satisfaction and comfort level. In communicating with intubated patients receiving mechanical ventilator therapy, the use of illustrated communication material is recommended.

Full description

The use ofcommunication material in communication with patients receiving mechanical ventilator support increases patient satisfaction and reduces communication difficulties. However, there was no randomized controlled clinical study showing the effect of the use of these materials on patient care outcomes such as anxiety and comfort level.Patients were randomly assigned to the control groups using illustrated communication material and intervention and routine communication methods. The research was carried out in three stages: preoperative, intensive care and one day after surgery. The primary outcomes of the study were pain, anxiety and comfort levels of the patients. Secondary outcomes were the patients' satisfaction with hemodynamic parameters and communication method.

Experimental group

Description:

In the intervention group, communication was established with the illustrated communication material. The pain, anxiety scores, and hemodynamic data of the patients were recorded by the intensive care nurse in three consecutive measurements starting with the first communication (0th minute) and at 30th and 60th minutes. On the first postoperative day, the satisfaction of the communication established with them, as well as their evaluations regarding the adequacy of this communication and their comfort levels were determined during the time they received mechanical ventilation therapy.
