Abstract
BACKGROUND
The intensive care unit (ICU) is a specialized hospital department. Awake patients in the ICU frequently encounter adverse psychological states, such as anxiety and fear, often accompanied by poor sleep quality. This situation has garnered significant attention within the medical community.
AIM
To investigate the impact of prospective nursing intervention strategies on the sleep quality and negative emotional state of conscious ICU patients.
METHODS
One hundred and twenty ICU awake patients admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into control (n = 60) and observation (n = 60) groups. Patients in the control group were cared for using the conventional nursing model, while patients in the observation group were cared for using the prospective nursing model. Sleep improvement was assessed using the International Standardized Sleep Efficiency Formula and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, Self-Depression Scale (SDS), and satisfaction before and after treatment were used to assess the negative emotional states of patients under the two care models.
RESULTS
Patient satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group. The GAD-7 and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the total effective rate of sleep improvement in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group. After treatment, the PSQI scores of the two groups significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.
CONCLUSION
Prospective nursing interventions can improve sleep quality and psychological levels and significantly affect conscious patients in the ICU, which is worthy of clinical application.
