What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intervention group:Behavioural
After a 50-meter walk while listening to the sounds of nature, the patient will walk 50 meters again to his/her room and then to his/her bed, where he/she will be seated. Then, the researcher nurse will remove the headphones from the patient's ears and ensure that the patient rests in a comfortable position.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group | No intervention | The standard care protocol of the service will be applied to the patients in the control group. The patients will be mobilized.( |
| Intervention Group | Experimental | Patients in this group will be mobilized and will be played nature-based sounds through headphones. Receives: Behavioral: Intervention group: |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Anxiety
Anxiety level will be measured withVirtual Analog Scale-Anxiety (The lowest score is set as 0, and the highest score is set as 10.)
Measured: Before mobilization 5 minutes and after mobilization 10 minutes
Stress
with smart watch
Measured: before mobilization 5 minutes and after mobilization 10 minutes
Pain level
Pain level will be measured with Virtual Analog Scale (The lowest score is set as 0, and the highest score is set as 10.)
