Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effect of Speech-to-speech Voice-Cloning Care (SVCC) on improving ICU-acquired anxiety for critically ill patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
- Can the use of participants' loved ones' voices by nurses in communication while providing care lead to better mental health and clinical outcomes?
Researchers will see if the implementation of SVCC can reduce anxiety and depression and improve clinical outcomes.
Participants will:
- Receive the SVCC intervention until the endotracheal tube (ETT) is removed.
- Keep a diary of delirium, the duration of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stays.
Detailed Description
During the SVCC, healthcare will be delivered by nurses who will communicate with participants using the familiar voices of their loved ones, transformed in real-time by an artificial intelligence voice-cloning tool.

- •Hemodynamic stability.
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
ICU-acquired anxiety
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0); daily from ICU admission through ICU discharge (an average of 7 days); and 3 days post-ICU discharge.
The primary outcome assessment will be conducted using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Anxiety Subscale (HADS-A). The HADS is used to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression in medical patients, which includes two subscales: one for anxiety (HADS-A) and one for depression (HADS-D). Each subscale consists of seven items, with scores for each item ranging from 1 to 4. The total score for each subscale ranges from 7 to 28, with a score of 11 or above considered to be the critical value.
Secondary Outcomes
- ICU-acquired depression(Baseline (Day 0); daily from ICU admission through ICU discharge (an average of 7 days); and 3 days post-ICU discharge.)
- Incidence of Delirium(Twice daily from Day 1 through ICU discharge, an average of 7 days.)
- Duration of Mechanical Ventilation(From the start of mechanical ventilation through endotracheal tube (ETT) removal, an average of 6 days.)
- ICU Stay(From ICU admission through ICU discharge, an average of 7 days.)
- Qualitative assessment(Once during the follow-up visit, three days after the participant is discharged from the ICU.)
