Data Collection Tools:
Patient Identification Form : A form containing patients' sociodemographic characteristics and their Glasgow Coma Scale score prior to the start of the study Data Recording Form: A form used to record patients' level of consciousness and hemodynamic parameters before and after the auditory stimulation procedure.
Methods This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to determine the effect of applying a family member's voice, a nurse's voice, and the "love glove" on vital signs in unconscious patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
