Patients in the experimental group were provided with information in addition to routine nursing care and supportive care interventions were made. The information leaflet was explained to the patients in the experimental group face to face by the researchers and the information was repeated according to the patient's needs. As a pre-test measure, blood gases were taken from the patients in the experimental and control groups, their vital signs were measured, their state of consciousness was evaluated, and DASS-21 (anxiety and stress sub-dimension) and RASS (agitation dimension) were practiced by face-to-face interviews with the patients. As the last test, the same measurements were made 5 days after the first measurement and before the patients were transferred to the normal service. An information pamphlet consisting of textual material about NIV treatment was developed.
Routine nursing care was practiced to the control group in the intensive care clinic where the patients were located.
