Original description

Intervention: Intervention 1: Intervention group: After determining the research units and preparing the snow room, the researcher will be fully acquainted with the snow room, the available equipment and how they work. After the researcher is fully acquainted with snozlen, the patients of the intervention group will be present in the hospital environment after coordination on the days of periodic visits or with the coordination and request of the patient. Patients then enter the room in groups of three. Preparations before starting Snoozelen: To reduce distraction and focus more, the cell phone should not be used in the room environment and we ask participants to turn off their cell phones and if they need a hygienic service or may be in If they need a session, be sure to go before starting the intervention.Before starting, we explain the snoozelen steps to the participants and answer any questions we may have, as well as reassuring them that they can leave the room whenever they want, thus showing them that they are completely on the environment.
