Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the most commonly performed surgical procedure among cardiovascular diseases. Nursing care for patients undergoing cardiac surgery involves a process that includes preoperative preparation and subsequent close monitoring of neurological, cardiac, respiratory, vascular status, kidney function, and pain. Sleep disturbances are observed after cardiac surgery. Sleep plays a critical role in the body's maintenance, repair, and renewal processes. Improved sleep can reduce patient agitation and decrease the risk of delirium. The presence of delirium leads to increased care requirements and prolonged hospital stays, which in turn raises hospital costs. Enhancing sleep quality and preventing delirium after surgery have positive effects on clinical patient outcomes. This study is designed to determine the effects of using eye masks and/or earplugs on sleep quality and delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting during nighttime sleep. This research is a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Eye Mask and Earplugs

On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, the experimental group will be given the intervention reserved during their night sleep, using eye patches and earplugs.

On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th postoperative day, repeated monitoring will be performed using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC.

Patients who wish to leave the study at any stage, do not receive the reserved intervention or die during the monitoring will be excluded from the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

No interventions assigned to this group

Earplugs

The reserved intervention will be applied during the night sleep with earplugs on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day group after the surgery.

Repeated monitoring will be performed using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days after the surgery.

Patients who want to leave at any stage of the study, do not receive the reserved intervention or die during the monitoring will be excluded from the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

No interventions assigned to this group

Eye Mask

The intervention allocated during night sleeps with Eye Mask applied on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days after the surgery will be applied.

Repeated monitoring will be done using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days after the surgery.

Patients who want to leave at any stage of the study, do not perform the allocated intervention or die during the follow-up will be excluded from the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Eye mask

Intervention Type OTHER

The three experimental groups (eye patch group, earplug group, eye patch and earplug group applied together) will be given a separate intervention during their night sleep on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative day. Repeated monitoring will be performed using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th postoperative days.

no mask no earblugs

No intervention will be performed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative day.

Repeated monitoring will be performed on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th postoperative day using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC.

Patients who wish to leave the study at any stage, who do not perform the intervention, or who die during follow-up will be excluded from the study.
