In intensive care units, the frequent use of analgesics leads to polypharmacy and increased costs for patients. By embracing a patient-centered care principle, nursing believes that patients may be happier and experience reduced pain when they hear the voices of their familiar ones, thereby directly improving their quality of life. Listening to the voices of family members is expected to have positive effects on patients due to its ease of implementation, low cost, and non-invasive nature.
