| Background and Aim: The intensive care environment has an effect that causes stress in patients and therefore reduces the comfort of patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of environmental stressors in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the comfort level of the patients. Method: The study was carried out with 111 patients hospitalized in the ICU of a state hospital in the northernmost part of Turkey between January 1 and April 30, 2021. Patient Identification Form, Intensive Care Unit Environmental Stressors Scale (ICUESS), General Comfort Scale (GCS), Numeric Pain Scale and Numeric Nausea Scale were used to collect data.Results: The mean age of the patients participating in the study was 66.11±12.61 years and it was determined that 64.9% were male. The mean ICUESS score and GCS total score of the patients were found to be respectively 100.81±19.31 and 135.24±18.04. A moderate negative correlation was found between the patients' ICUESS score and the total GCS score (r=-0.57; p< 0.001).Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that the environmental stressor perception of the patients was above the medium level and their general comfort level was above the average. |
