Materials And Methods Design: This study was a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group pretest post-test design.
Article Synopsis
- Poor sleep quality is a common issue in ICU settings due to various environmental factors, prompting this study to explore interventions that could improve sleep for patients.
- The research used a crossover design with 68 ICU patients divided into two groups, comparing the effects of earplugs and eye masks against ocean sounds on their sleep quality over four nights.
- Results indicated that earplugs and eye masks significantly improved sleep quality more than ocean sounds, suggesting that these interventions could be effective add-ons to traditional medication for better patient rest in the ICU, though more research is needed.
