RESEARCH PROPOSAL2Project title- Intensive care unit delirium: effects of educational intervention programme among ICU nurses.Background- Delirium is an acute fluctuating mental disturbance in the consciousness and attentioncognition. The person has state of mind characterized by restlessness, illusion, This is thecommon disturbance is due to the manifestation of dysfunction in the brain. This type of mentaldisorder is found in 80% of the intensive care unit. The main factors due to the risk of deliriumare due to exposure to sedatives and analgesics and medications. The recent morbidity andmortality rate in ICU is contributed by delirium. Patients with delirium face longer stay inhospital. Research says that the occurrence of the symptoms could be associated during orseveral months after the discharge. Little has been known about the accurate strategies andprevention methods in delirium (Rosa et al, 2017). Still, this is the process of ongoing multipleinvestigations. Though the intensive care unit highlights the increase in survival of the patientsnowadays delirium has proven to be a major concern in public health units. Delirium is oftenassociated with short and long term effects. The symptoms are visible even after several years ofICU discharge. There is the problem present in the health care units due to lack of knowledge,assessment and the monitoring of delirium on time. According to the definition of the AmericanPsychiatric Association delirium is the cognitive impairment which occurs at short episodes.Delirium has subtypes according to the psychomotor behavioral patterns. The prevalence ofhypoactive delirium is due to the clinicians lack in recognition of the symptoms. Hypoactivedelirium is defined as the decreased responsiveness, withdrawal and apathy. The medical andsurgical cases of ICU cohort studies indicate about 80% of cases of delirium (Kamdar, et al,2015).

RESEARCH PROPOSAL3Aims of study ICU nurses have deficient in knowledge about the management and assessment ofdelirium. The main area of concern is the effective use of delirium assessment tools. The nursesoften have lacked in knowledge of the use of assessment tools to identify the occurrence ofdelirium. Thus training of nurses can be included for the assessment tools. The nurses should beadvocated about the treatment of the delirium. The minimization of delirium is dependent on themanagement and effective knowledge of the nurses. Thus the aim of this study is the pivot basedresearch study to see the assessment tools of the delirium is effectively used by the nurses. Ateam of expert nurses must conduct the study in the intensive care unit to get the quantitativeresearch and identify the root cause of the problems associated with the assessment of delirium.It is known that relevance of delirium is not only due to incidence but also due to consequences.The aim of the study stratifies the future resistance for the less occurrence of the outcome ofdelirium. Significance and innovation of proposed studyThe following research proposal is based on the quantitative study of the tools and thenurse roles in managing the conditions of delirium, This will foster learning and negativeoutcomes. It is a type of routine based evaluation of the treatment and assessment process ofnurses regarding the management of delirium. The treatments in ICU which includes theanalgesics like the morphine, meperidine, and atropine can be the cause of the collaborativeeffects of delirium (van den Boogaard, 2014). This evidence based study of the evaluation of theassessment tools used by the nurses is going to be used in future for the nurses to take powerfulinterventions for care of the delirium persons. This is about the clarification to the nurses andhelps them to take early measures and detection of delirium. The right dose of sedatives should
