Agitation, pain, anxiety and hormonal imbalances are frequently observed due to hospitalization in ICU. In this stressful environment, patients often experience pain and agitation. Both situations trigger a physiological stress response in the patient and increase cortisol secretion. This increase in cortisol levels can suppress the immune system, delay wound healing and negatively affect the patient's general prognosis. Today, in addition to modern medicine, complementary\u002Falternative therapies are increasingly used. One of these alternative therapies is therapeutic touch application. Therapeutic touch is based on the therapeutic effect of the act of touching. Therapeutic touch, alternatively known as healing touch, is a complementary\u002Falternative treatment method applied by touching energy points on the body. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the effects of therapeutic touch applied to patients in intensive care on pain, agitation and cortisol levels. This study, planned as a randomized experimental study with a pre-test-post-test intervention control group, will consist of patients in the Intensive Care Unit of Fırat University Hospital. The sample will consist of 60 intensive care patients, 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group, who meet the research criteria on the specified dates and accept the research.

This process will be done before and after each application and a total of 8 measurements will be taken. The application will take approximately 15-30 minutes every four days for the patients in the intervention group. During this period, no application will be made to the patients in the control group and RASS, VAS scales will be filled every four days and blood cortisol levels will be checked.

Patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment are trying to cope with social and physical problems that may develop due to chronic disease.
