Abstract
To study the effect of informing patients with video before cardiac surgery on intensive care experience. This randomized controlled trial was conducted between December 2021 and December 2022 in the cardiovascular surgery clinic of a public hospital with the participation of 90 patients (45 patients in experimental group - 45 patients in control group) who were scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery. Patient Information Form and Intensive Care Experiences Scale were used for study data. Patients in experimental group were informed with video about the intensive care before cardiac surgery. It was found that the total score on ICES of the experimental group (74.5±3.9) was statistically and significantly higher than that of the control group (63.9±6.4) (p<0.001). The sub-dimension of awareness of surroundings (20.8±1.7), the frightening experiences (18.6±1.0), and the recall of experience (18.5±1.5) and satisfaction with care (16.7±1.4) were found to be statistically significantly higher in the experimental group, than in the control group sub-dimension scores (p<0.001). It was found that informing patients with video about the intensive care setting and process before cardiac surgery had a positive effect on the intensive care experience. Note: The study was produced from a master's thesis and was not presented. All participants gave informed consent for the study, and that their anonymity was preserved.Trial Registration NO.: NCT05255887.
