Official title
Effects of Shotblocker and Manual Pressure on Pain and Satisfaction During Peripheral Venous Catheter Placement: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This study aims to determine the effects of shotblocker and manual pressure applied during peripheral venous catheter placement on pain and satisfaction. 81 patients hospitalized in the Urology clinic will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned to three groups as shotblocker (n=27), manual pressure (n=27) and control group (n=27) by block randomization method. Research Hypotheses * H1-1: The mean pain scores of the intervention group to which shotblocker was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-2: The mean pain scores of the intervention group to which manual pressure was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-3: The mean satisfaction scores of the intervention group to which shotblocker was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-4: The mean satisfaction scores of the intervention group to which manual pressure was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group.
Interventions
- Other Manual pressure
Before the procedure in the manual pressure group, the vein entry area will be pressed with the right hand thumb for 10 seconds. The pressure will be applied until the nail bed turns white. - Other Shotblocker
In the Shotblocker group, the shotblocker will be placed 2 cm above the vein entry point and will remain throughout the procedure.
Primary outcome measures
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [Time frame: The peripheral venous catheter will be filled within 1 minute after insertion.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Patient Satisfaction Scale [Time frame: The peripheral venous catheter will be filled within 1 minute after insertion.]
