Abstract:

 Introduction: Recent advances in medical scienceshave increased the survival rate of injured patientsand led to hospitalization of patients for a long timein the ICU wards. Patients admitted to special wardsare confronted with considerable stress. Tension isusually associated with an increase in metabolic rateand, consequently, an increase in body temperature,in cardiac output and cardiac contractility, an increasein blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate.Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate thehelping effect of voice of the Quran on vital signs andlevel of consciousness in the patients admitted to theICU wards”.Materials and Methods: This study was a clinical trial.Thirty subjects were selected through random samplingmethod. For 10 consecutive days, Yousef Surawas played through a headphone for 15 minutes daily,and then physiological parameters, including systolicand diastolic blood pressure, respiration, pulse, andconsciousness level were recorded by physiologicalindexes in two rounds, The first turn was 5 minutesbefore playing the Quran voice and the second onewas immediately measured after completion of theHoly Quran broadcast. SPSS software version 22was used to analyze the data.Findings: Based on the results between the vitalsigns before and after the intervention, significant differenceswere observed (p <0.0001) in that the rateof vital signs declined after intervention. Additionally,there was a significant difference between the levelof consciousness before and after the intervention (p<0.0001), increasing the level of consciousness afterthe intervention.Conclusion: The results of this study show the effectof Quran verses on reducing vital signs and increasingthe level of consciousness. Considering this easyand cost-free method, it can be used to provide aneffective step in improving the conditions of patientsadmitted to special wards and for other patients sufferingfrom tension and instability of vital signs due tovarious causes.
