How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control Group
The standard care protocol of the service will be applied to the patients in the control group. The patients will be mobilized.(
Experimental: Intervention Group
Patients in this group will be mobilized and will be played nature-based sounds through headphones.
After a 50-meter walk while listening to the sounds of nature, the patient will walk 50 meters again to his/her room and then to his/her bed, where he/she will be seated. Then, the researcher nurse will remove the headphones from the patient's ears and ensure that the patient rests in a comfortable position.
