Overview
Coronary artery bypass grafting is the most commonly performed surgical procedure among cardiovascular diseases. Nursing care for patients undergoing cardiac surgery involves a process that includes preoperative preparation and subsequent close monitoring of neurological, cardiac, respiratory, vascular status, kidney function, and pain. Sleep disturbances are observed after cardiac surgery. Sleep plays a critical role in the body's maintenance, repair, and renewal processes. Improved sleep can reduce patient agitation and decrease the risk of delirium. The presence of delirium leads to increased care requirements and prolonged hospital stays, which in turn raises hospital costs. Enhancing sleep quality and preventing delirium after surgery have positive effects on clinical patient outcomes. This study is designed to determine the effects of using eye masks and/or earplugs on sleep quality and delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting during nighttime sleep. This research is a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Interventions
- Other Eye mask
The three experimental groups (eye patch group, earplug group, eye patch and earplug group applied together) will be given a separate intervention during their night sleep on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative day. Repeated monitoring will be performed using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th postoperative days. - Other Earplugs

Primary outcome measures
- Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale [Time frame: Repeated monitoring will be performed using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days after surgery.]
- Nursing Delirium Screening Scale- Nu-DESC [Time frame: Repeated monitoring will be performed using RCUÖ and Nu-DESC on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days after surgery.]
