Abstract: Objective To explore the moderating effects of ocean sound on nocturnal sleep quality and negative emotion among ICU awake patients. Methods A total of 60 cases hospitalized in ICU were averagely divided into observation group and control group by random number table. The patients of observation group were given ocean sound intervention based on control group, while the patients of control group were given conventional emotional nursing method and routine sleep nursing method. Before and after interventions, Richards Campbell sleep scale ( RCSQ) , self rating depression scale ( SDS) , self rating anxiety scale ( SAS) were used to assess the effects. Results After one week interventions in the observation group, the scores of SDS, SAS, and the nocturnal sleep quality of RCSQ were lower than those of the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusions Ocean sound intervention can improve the ICU awake patients′ nocturnal sleep quality, and slow down the negative emotional process.
