Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Vital Sign Monitoring; Pain; Catheter Placement and Perceived Pain

• Registration Number: NCT06816420
• Lead Sponsor: Necmettin Erbakan University

Brief Summary

In this study, the effect of cold application on the pain experienced during port catheter needle insertion and the change in the patient's vital signs will be evaluated. It is thought that with this application, patients will experience less pain during port catheter needle insertion. The change in the patient's vital signs and pain status will also be evaluated. The research will be conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy department of a Hospital.

Detailed Description

The effects of lidocaine cream, cryotherapy (cold application to the skin), cutaneous stimulation therapy (pressure and massage) methods , virtual reality application and aromatherapy applied via inhalation on reducing pain were investigated in order to reduce the pain during port catheter needle insertion. In this study, the effect of cold application on the pain experienced during port catheter needle insertion and the change in the patient's vital signs will be evaluated. It is thought that with this application, patients will experience less pain during port catheter needle insertion. The change in the patient's vital signs according to the pain status will also be evaluated. The research will be conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy department of Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The universe of the research will consist of all patients with port catheters in the outpatient chemotherapy department of Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The sample of the research will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the research.
