Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding three sensory elements (visual, auditory, olfactory) on reducing discomfort in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit/continuing care unit.

Detailed Description

The IHP trial is multicenter, interventional, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study.

The study population consists of adult patients hospitalized in an intensive care or continuing care unit for medical or surgical reasons, conscious or unconscious under mechanical ventilation.

All patients participating in the study will be managed according to usual practices in intensive care and continuing care units. All patients and their relatives will be monitored and supported by the medical team as in normal practice.

The study will be offered to the patient or a close relative/trusted person on admission to hospital.

Immersive sensory projectionsHospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unitPatients will benefit from an immersive sensory environment in the hospital room. This IHP immersive sensory environment consists of the following elements: * light frescoes on the theme of nature, of the canopy type, diffused by a generative circadian cycle. * a soundtrack made up of nature sounds and sounds of life outside the hospital, broadcast in an immersive (moving sounds in the room), random (non-repetitive sounds over time) and generative way. * essential oils
No immersive sensory projectionsHospitalization in intensive care or continuing care unitStandard (control) group: Patients will not have any Immersion Health Project-type immersive sensory projection in the hospital room.
