Comparing the Efficacy of Earplugs and Eye Masks on Pain and Sleep Quality

Patients in this group did not receive any treatment to improve pain and sleep quality during the study period. Routine postoperative care was applied in the clinic.

Patients who met the inclusion criteria were fitted with standard earplug of the same brand by the researcher at night. The researcher applied the earplug from 01:00 AM to 05:00 AM. The reason for this is that the procedures performed on the patients within the clinical routine ended at 01:00 AM and the patients' uninterrupted sleep hours coincided with these hours.
