The sample consist of four groups: ear plug group (n=30), eye mask group (n=30), earplug-eye mask group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Data were collected using the "Patient Identification Form, Glasgow Coma Skale, Visual Analog Scale, Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), ear plug and eye mask".
