The study was conducted as a randomized controlled blinded study. The sample consisted of 55 patient relatives (27 in the experimental group and 28 in the control group). The patient's relatives in the experimental group said what they wanted to say to their patient in line with the content determined by the researchers and recorded it using a voice recorder. The researcher played the recorded message to the patient, and the patient's feedback was conveyed to the patient's relative.
