Evaluation of the Effect of Music During Nursing Care on the Confort of Patient Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit During the Acute Phase of a Stroke

Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)

Nurses in Stroke Units and Neurovascular Intensive Care Units (USINV) provide care for patients who have experienced a stroke, a sudden and often devastating event that can result in motor, sensory, visual, cognitive, language, or swallowing impairments. Despite advances in stroke management, it remains the leading cause of acquired disability and the second leading cause of death in France, with 122,422 hospitalizations in 2022 and 773 at our institution in 2023. Acute stroke care guidelines recommend hospitalization in specialized neurovascular intensive care units (USINV), as this setting improves survival and recovery through specialized nursing care, close monitoring, and prevention of complications. However, the sudden onset of disability and the unfamiliar, often stressful hospital environment can lead to anxiety, fear, and a sense of helplessness among patients. Providing comfort is a key nursing objective in this context. Kolcaba defines comfort as the experience of having fundamental needs for relief, well-being, and transcendence met in physical, psycho-spiritual, environmental, and sociocultural dimensions. Hygiene care, in particular, can contribute to comfort by ensuring cleanliness, minimizing pain, and improving self-image. The use of music during care has been proposed as a means to enhance comfort by positively influencing both physical and psychological states, as well as the care environment. Music can stimulate the senses, redirect attention, evoke pleasant memories, reduce stress, and provide a sense of control and identity for patients. While music therapy-a specialized practice requiring trained professionals-has been studied in various fields, the use of music during routine care is distinct and has shown benefits in psychiatry, palliative care, and geriatrics, as well as during stressful procedures. In stroke rehabilitation, music has been explored for its effects on mood and recovery, but its use during the acute phase of stroke in USINV has not been systematically studied. An informal survey at our institution revealed that 78% of nurses and nursing assistants use music during care, particularly during hygiene procedures. Our hypothesis is that incorporating music into hygiene care can improve patient comfort by addressing physical, psychological, and environmental needs. To assess comfort in a population that may have communication difficulties, we developed a visual comfort scale (0-5) using artificial intelligence-generated facial expressions. This scale was tested on 30 USINV patients and found to be accessible and easy to use, except for those with cognitive impairments or language barriers, who will be excluded from further study.
