What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate how structured education affects family members of patients undergoing tracheostomy in the intensive care unit. The study focuses on reducing state anxiety, improving psychological well-being, and increasing satisfaction with care for these family members. It is a randomized controlled trial conducted with 84 participants, comparing structured education to routine information. Family members in the intervention group will receive a face-to-face educational program before the tracheostomy procedure. This program includes details about the purpose and necessity of the tracheostomy, the procedure itself, possible changes after the procedure, communication techniques, basic care principles, potential complications, and how family members can be involved in care. The control group will receive the usual verbal information provided by healthcare professionals in the intensive care unit. Participants will be assessed for anxiety, psychological well-being, and satisfaction with care at three time points before the tracheostomy, one day after, and one week after the procedure. Questionnaires such as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit-24 will be used. The study is expected to contribute to better family-centered care in intensive care settings.
