Sponsor's own description
This study aims to evaluate whether including a patient's family member during transfer from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the general ward can help reduce anxiety in patients who have undergone cardiovascular surgery. The research is being conducted in a cardiovascular ICU in Turkey. Patients in the intervention group are accompanied by a close relative during the transfer process. Their anxiety levels and vital signs are measured before and after the transfer and compared to those of patients transferred without a relative.
