Brief Summary

Pain management during medical care is considered to be a basic human right and also affects patient satisfaction. In addition, effective management of acute pain contributes to improved patient outcomes. Patient satisfaction is a subjective state that indicates whether the healthcare provided has met the patient's needs and expectations. Many nurse theorists, including Florence Nightingale, have expressed the importance of providing comfort and relief for patients. In fact, comfort has been a crucial aspect of patient care since Nightingale's days, and has been considered an indispensable constituent of integrated nursing care. Studies to improve comfort may contribute to improving individuals' health outcomes, enforcing health-improvement behaviors, and improving healthcare quality as well as satisfaction and contentment of the individual and the nurse in the process of administering healthcare. In the literature, although the efficacy of various pharmacological methods for reducing pain associated with the insertion of PIC has been evaluated in adults, studies on nonpharmacological methods are limited. However, most of the studies were performed in healthy adults. Easy, inexpensive, and fast methods with unlikely side effects are needed to control pain and distress due to the PIC insertion in adults. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of distraction methods.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain Associated With The Peripheral Intravenous Catheterisation

    Visual Analog Scale was used to evaluate pain caused by needle insertion. In the Visual Analog Scale of 10 cm length, "0" indicated no pain, and "10" indicated the severest pain.

DistractionBEHAVIORAL

Distraction-1 Group: Cards containing approximately six optical illusion pictures were shown to the patients and as a method of distraction during the PIC insertion procedure they were asked what they saw in these cards. Distraction-2 Group: Underwater 3D audial videos were played with visual reality (VR) goggles during PIC insertion until the procedure was completed.
