“…Studies demonstrating the influence of using earplugs on anxiety are limited in the literature. Mahan et al 20 used earphones on children to reduce noise during the removal of casts and concluded that the use of earphones reduced anxiety. This conclusion is in line with that of our study.…”

Background: Percutaneous coronary interventions cause anxiety in patients, although these procedures are lifesaving. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nature sounds and earplug interventions on the anxiety of patients after percutaneous coronary interventions. Methods: A randomized controlled trial design was used in this study. A total of 114 patients who were scheduled to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention were allocated to three groups in a randomized manner: two intervention groups (nature sound group, earplug group) and one control group. The Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Inventory and physiological parameters were used to measure anxiety. Data were collected from the patients at three time points: immediately before, immediately after and 30 minutes after the interventions. Results: The respiratory rates and the Visual Analog Scale and State Anxiety Inventory scores of patients in the nature sound and earplug groups immediately after and 30 minutes after the interventions were significantly lower than those of the control group ( p < 0.05). No differences were found when comparing respiratory rates, Visual Analog Scale scores and State Anxiety Inventory scores between patients in the nature sound group and patients in the earplug group ( p > 0.05). No changes were observed in the pulse and systolic/diastolic blood pressure values of patients in the control and intervention groups ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: It was determined that nature sounds and earplug interventions are effective in reducing the anxiety of patients following percutaneous coronary intervention.

“…17 Studies have reported that the use of earplugs, especially in noisy environments, increase sleep quality and duration and reduce delirium, agitation and anxiety. 18,19 Mahan et al 20 placed earphones on patients to reduce noise during the removal of casts and determined that anxiety was reduced in this way.…”

“…The 8 included studies evaluated the impact of interventions that included noise reduction [17,20,23], the inclusion of other specialists (play therapist, child life therapist) [24,25], electronic tablets for distraction [21], preparatory sensation vs. procedural-based information [18,19], and music therapy [22] (Table 2). Two interventions outlined the use of theory in developing the intervention [18,19,25].…”

“…Five evaluated psychologically-based interventions [18,19,21,22,24,25]; employing the strategies of distraction [21,24,25], preparatory information [18,19], music therapy [22], and play [24,25], alone or in combination. One study used both physical and psychological approaches, combining the strategies of noise reduction and distraction (Table 2) [23].

Interventions to Improve the Cast Removal Experience for Children and Their Families: A Scoping Review

et al. 2021

Background: Cast removal can be a distressing experience for a child. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive review of interventions designed to reduce anxiety and improve the child’s and family’s experience of pediatric cast removal. Methods: A scoping review was conducted (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, grey literature sources). Inclusion criteria: studies published January 1975–October 2019 with a primary focus on pediatric patients undergoing cast removal/cast room procedures. Screening, full text review, data extraction, and quality appraisal were conducted in duplicate. Results: 974 unique articles and 1 video were screened. Nine articles (eight unique studies) with a total of 763 participants were included. Interventions included the following, alone or in combination: noise reduction, electronic device use, preparatory information, music therapy, play therapy, and child life specialist-directed intervention. Heart rate was used as a primary (88%) or secondary (12%) outcome measure across studies. Each study reported some positive effect of the intervention, however effects varied by age, outcome measure, and measurement timing. Studies scored low on outcome measure validity and blinding as assessed by the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Randomized Controlled Trials. Conclusion: Various methods have been tested to improve the pediatric cast removal experience. Results are promising, however the variation in observed effectiveness suggests a need for the use of consistent and valid outcome measures. In addition, future research and quality improvement projects should evaluate interventions that are tailored to a child’s age and child/family preference.

“…Periode tidur yang lebih lama berhasil dicapai untuk pasien dari kelompok intervensi dengan harga yang sangat efektif (masing-masing £ 2,50). Menurut Mahan et al (2017) menggunakan earphone pada anak-anak untuk mengurangi kebisingan selama pelepasan gips dan menyimpulkan bahwa penggunaan Earphone atau Earplug dapat mengurangi kecemasan. Menurut, Koo dan Koh (2008) efek dari alat pelindung mata (Eyemask) dan penutup telinga (Earplug) pada gangguan tidur pada pasien CCU adalah cara yang sederhana dan murah untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidur pasien di CCU (Coronary Care Unit).…”

Patients in intensive care units (ICU) are at risk of sleep disorders. Patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a history of cardiovascular disease, for example Coronary Heart Disease if have poor sleep quality can affect the healing process. This study aims to identify and analyze the positive effects of using Eyemask, Earplug and Dhikr Therapy on sleep quality in ICU patients. The research methods used are literature reviews on national and international articles published in the last 5-10 years. The use of Eye Mask and Ear Plug therapy and Dhikr Therapy can be applied as a supportive therapy for patients with sleep disorders in intensive care unit(ICU).
