Purpose: The purpose of this study was to exam the effects of nursing information about intensive care unit environment on ICU patient’s environmental stress, anxiety and comfort.
Methods: A non-equivalent control group with non-synchronized quasi-experimental research design was used. Participants were 60 (control 30, experimental 30) patients who admitted at ICU in one hospital in Gangneung. Experimental group was provided with nursing information about intensive care unit environment. To avoid contamination of the experiment, data for the control group were collected prior to the experimental group. Paired t-test, t-test, chi-square test were used to analyze the data using the SPSS WIN 19.0 Program.
Results: ICU environmental stress (t=-.089, p=.045) and anxiety (t=-5.65, p<.001) were significantly more reduced than before intervention. Also, comfort (t=-2.98, p=.036) was significantly more improved than before intervention.
Conclusion:It confirmed that nursing information on ICU environment is effective in reducing environmental stress, anxiety and improving comfort in ICU patients.
