Abstract

This dissertation investigates the prevalence and contributing factors of ICU delirium in long-term bedridden patients, addressing the urgent need to understand how prolonged immobility and associated health conditions may intensify cognitive decline. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected quantitative data on delirium incidence rates, revealing that over 40% of patients experienced varying degrees of delirium, correlated with factors such as duration of bed rest, medication side effects, and pre-existing cognitive impairments. Qualitative data gathered from healthcare professionals highlighted pivotal aspects of patient care practices and environmental elements within the ICU, including sensory stimulation and structured daily routines, which significantly influenced delirium outcomes. These findings underscore the critical necessity for targeted interventions aimed at mitigating the risk of delirium in this vulnerable population, enhancing not only cognitive health but also overall patient safety and recovery trajectories. The significance of this research extends beyond individual patient care, emphasizing the need for healthcare systems to adopt holistic approaches that incorporate environmental and procedural modifications in the ICU setting. By informing clinical practices and policies, this study has the potential to improve care strategies, reduce the incidence of delirium, and promote better health outcomes for long-term bedridden patients, ultimately contributing to more effective management of their complex health needs within critical care environments.
