dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between the intensive care experience and the state anxiety of patients hospitalized in the coronary intensive care unit. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 192 patients from the coronary intensive care unit of a university hospital. Data were collected using a Patient Information Form, the Intensive Care Experience Scale (ICE), and the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I). The analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 25.0. Descriptive statistics were reported as counts, percentages, means, and standard deviations. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: Among the participants, 38% were aged 65 and older, 76.6% were male, 93.2% were married, 63% were admitted to the intensive care unit from the emergency room, and 88.5% had prior experience in an intensive care unit. The total and sub-dimension scores of the ICE and STAI-I were moderate. We found a weak positive correlation between the STAI-I total score and the ICE total score (r= 0.320). There was a very strong positive correlation between pessimistic experiences in the intensive care unit and the STAI-I total score (r=0.907). Additionally, there was a moderate negative correlation between satisfaction with care received in the intensive care unit and the sub-dimensions of memory of experiences (Awareness of Surroundings, Satisfaction with the Care, Recollection of Experiences) (r=0.252, r=-0.489, r=-0.496). Conclusion: The study found that pessimistic experiences in the intensive care unit can significantly impact patients' state anxiety.
