"The Effect of Virtual Visitation in the Intensive Care Unit on Pain, Anxiety, and Sleep Levels"
The Effect on Pain, Anxiety and Sleep Levels of Virtual Visiting in the Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 May 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Patients in the intensive care unit after cardiovascular surgery face not only complications related to the surgical procedure but also emotional distress due to separation from their loved ones. Because of infection control measures, visitor restrictions are enforced in intensive care units, which may further contribute to patient stress. This study aims to evaluate the effect of scheduled virtual visitation in the intensive care environment on patients' postoperative pain, anxiety, and sleep levels.
