Also ''There are significant differences in PSQI after intervention between groups (experimental group 5. 7±1. 6، control group 8. 43±1. 97 p<0. 05). Used by the ear and eye protect device as a cost-effective and un complicated method to improve sleep quality in acute coronary syndrome patients in ccu and can serve as an alternative method instead of using drug therapy used.
