Effect of Listening to Relatives' Voice Recordings on Chest Pain, Anxiety, and Depression in Coronary ICU Patients

In the study, it was emphasized that the messages to be played to the patient should be 3-5 minutes and simple terms should be used in a way that can be understood by individuals with low education level. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient and the patient's relatives before the application. In the message recorded by a patient's relative decided by the patient's family members, the patient's relative said what he/she wanted to say to the patient and recorded it using a voice recorder. The researcher had a preliminary interview with the patient's relative before the voice recording was taken about the use of the voice recorder and the content of the message (Table 1) in order to prevent the messages from negatively affecting the patient. The voice recording created by the patient's relative was played to the patient by the researcher using a music pillow. After the patient listened to the audio recording, it was erased under the witness of the patient's relative.
