Traumatic brain injury is a major global health challenge. Family-centered sensory stimulation is an approach that involves engaging Family members to provide sensory stimulation tailored to the patient's needs and utilizing familiar voices, touch, and personal items.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing family-centered sensory stimulation on the clinical outcomes of patients with traumatic brain injury. Research design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized.
The study was conducted at the trauma intensive care unit at Assiut University Hospital. Subjects: First, a purposive sample of 100 adult patients was divided into two equal groups: a control group (n=50) received routine nursing care, and a study group (n=50) received the family-centered sensory stimulation intervention. Second: A purposive sample of 50 family members of patients with traumatic brain injury. Tools: Three main tools: personal and clinical characteristics of the patients, Personal characteristics of family members, Clinical outcomes assessment questionnaire.
At baseline, the studied groups showed no statistically significant differences. Post-intervention, the study group showed significantly improved outcomes compared with the control group in terms of level of consciousness (52.0% vs. 10.0%) and moderate sensory responses (50.0% vs. 46.0%). Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected, and Hypotheses II and III were supported.
Implementation of family-centered sensory stimulation significantly enhanced clinical outcomes in traumatic brain injury patients. Recommendations: Integrating family-centered sensory stimulation into the routine nursing care to patients with traumatic brain injury.
