Abstract:
Multicomponent-Non-PharmacologicalNursingInterventions (Multi-Non-PharmaNIs) are evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of delirium. Purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effects of Multi-Non-PharmaNIs on delirium. The Multi-Non-PharmaNIs included orientation strategies (playing audio recordings of a non-family/family member), reading a daily newspaper, andwearing an eye patch at night. The absence/presence of delirium was assessed two times a day for three consecutive days. The patients in Group1 were made to listen to the orientation messages recorded in a non-family member's voice (10 min), was read newspaper, and wore an eye patch at night. Group2 received the same interventions as Group1, only the orientation messages were recorded in a family member's voice. The control group received standard nursing-care. There was a significant difference between 3 groups. When Group1 and Group2 were compared with the control group, it was found that there was a significant difference between Group2 and control group (p<0.05). Multi-Non-PharmaNIs were found to reduce delirium in critically ill patients.
