About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of viewing nature imagery accompanied by music on blood pressure and pain in intensive care unit patients compared with standard care.
The questions to be answered within the scope of the research are:
Does viewing nature imagery accompanied by music affect blood pressure in intensive care unit patients compared with standard care? Does viewing nature imagery accompanied by music affect pain levels in intensive care unit patients compared with standard care?
Participants will:
The patients will be divided into two groups: an intervention group and a control group.
The intervention group will Patients in the intervention group will be exposed to nature imagery accompanied by music once daily for 30 minutes over five consecutive days. Blood pressure and pain levels will be assessed before, during, and after each session.
The control group will continue with routine intensive care unit follow-up treatments.

Treatments tested in this trial
Viewing Nature Imagery Accompanied by Music
Other interventionAs part of the non-invasive intervention to be administered to the intervention group, patients will be shown nature and landscape visuals accompanied by music once daily for 30 minutes over a total of five consecutive days. The intervention will consist of nature-themed visuals-such as forests, seas, lakes, and waterfalls-paired with relaxing, instrumental, and wordless music played at a tempo of 60-80 beats per minute (BPM). Classical music compositions by Vivaldi will be selected for the musical component.

Visual Analog Scale
The study by Hayes and Patterson (1921) is considered a foundational source for the widespread adoption of the VAS in modern clinical pain measurement. Its clinical use in pain assessment was subsequently popularized, particularly by Huskisson (1974). It represents pain on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). The patient indicates the intensity of the pain they are experiencing by marking a point on the line. The measurement can be scored on a 0-10 scale or a 0-100 mm scale.
Time frame
VAS measurements: Before the nature imagery and music viewing session (baseline value) At the 15th minute of the session At the end of the session (30th minute) 15 minutes after the nature imagery and music viewing session2
Blood Pressure
Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) will be evaluated as primary physiological variables in the study. The values will be measured using a bedside monitor.
Time frame
Before the nature imagery and music viewing session (baseline value) • At the 15th minute of the session • At the end of the session (30th minute) • 15 minutes after the nature imagery and music viewing sessionLocations
