The Effect of Different Auditory Stimuli on Vital Signs and Consciousness Level in Intensive Care Patients: Music, Nature‐Based Sound and Voices of Patients' Relatives

Music, nature-based sounds and voices of patient relatives can be used in sensory stimulus programmes as they warn patients and positively affect the level of consciousness. This study revealed the responses of intensive care patients with different levels of consciousness to auditory stimuli. The results of this study may help in the selection of auditory stimuli in patients with different levels of consciousness. It is advisable to provide sensory stimuli by listening to music, nature-based sounds and voices of patients' relatives to patients, and create protocols or evidence-based guides that will help the intensive care nurse.
