Abstract

Aim: To examine the intensive care unit experiences and anxiety of patients following their referral to the clinic. Patients and Methods: A descriptive study involving 93 patients who had been in a cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit and then transferred to the clinic. The patients' socio-demographic characteristics, and intensive care unit experiences and anxiety levels were evaluated using a questionnaire and scales (intensive care unit experiences scale and hospital anxiety and depression scale-anxiety section). Results: We found that the intensive care experiences of the patients were positive. It was apparent that the patients' satisfaction regarding the care service they had received was high but awareness of their surroundings and anxiety levels were low. Their transfer anxiety levels was found low. Conclusion: Regular explanation of the conducted processes, treatments, and surrounding atmosphere, responding to the questions of the patients, and maintenance of effective communication with the patients and their relatives likely benefit the patients' awareness.
