Brief Summary

Purpose: This study will conducted to the effect of three different techniques used during peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) application on vein visibility, pain and comfort in cancer patients receiving palliative care. Design: This is a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: The population of the research will be cancer patients who applied to Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital Oncology unit between April 2023 and November 2024. The number of applications due to palliative care and cancer treatment in the clinic in 2021 is 352 patients. For this reason, direct sample selection was not made in the study, and the sample calculation was made according to the number of patients registered in the unit and the results of previous research (Chiao et al., 2013; Aulagnier et al., 2014). Calculations were made using the "G.Power-3.17" program with 95% confidence, an effect size of 0.4, and a statistical test power of at least 80%. Accordingly, it was aimed to reach 120 patients, including at least 40 in each group. In the study, randomization will be made according to vein visibility.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Visual Analog Scale

    It is a one-dimensional scale used in the measurement of VAS pain. Among the one-dimensional scales used to determine the severity of pain in patients, it was determined that the VAS measures more sensitively and is more reliable. The scale consists of a 100 mm long horizontal line. On one end are the phrases "No Pain" and on the other end "Unbearable Pain" describing the most severe pain possible. The patient is asked to mark his pain on the scale. The length of the line from the starting point of the scale to the point marked by the patient is measured and recorded in mm.

Study Arms (3)

Experimental group: infrared vascular imaging

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient's vital signs, skin color and skin turgor will be evaluated and recorded in the peripheral intravenous chemotherapy application registration form. After the tourniquet is attached, the stopwatch will be started and the catheter intervention process will be started when the vein visibility reaches the level where the nurse can insert the catheter. The stopwatch will be terminated at the stage of advancing the branule into the vein and fixing it with a plaster. If the catheterization application is successful or unsuccessful in the first attempt, it will be recorded. The pain and arm comfort levels in the form will be evaluated on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with 0: none, 10: many, before and after the application (at the 5th, 30th, and 60th minutes).

Other: Experimental group: infrared vascular imaging

Experimental group: isometric hand exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients to be included in this group will have applied isometric hand squeeze exercise, which lasted for twenty minutes a day, five days a week, before the PIVK procedure. On the fifth day, the patient's vital signs, skin color and skin turgor will be evaluated and recorded in the peripheral intravenous chemotherapy application registration form. Patients will be told how to use the stress ball 5 minutes before and during the PIVK procedure before the procedure. Patients will be taught to count from one to three and tighten and loosen the stress ball once, and they will be told to continue squeezing and loosening the stress ball in this way until the procedure is over. Focus their attention on the stress ball during the procedure.

Other: Experimental group: infrared vascular imaging

Control group: no intervention

NO INTERVENTION

The patient's vital signs, skin color and skin turgor will be evaluated and recorded in the peripheral intravenous chemotherapy application registration form. After the tourniquet is attached, the stop watch will be started and the catheter intervention process will be started when the vein visibility reaches the level where the nurse can insert the catheter. If the PIVC application is successful or unsuccessful in the first attempt, it will be recorded. PIC success will be evaluated according to whether the branule is placed in the vein. The pain and arm comfort levels in the form will be evaluated on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with 0: none, 10: many, before and after the application (at the 5th, 30th, and 60th minutes).

Interventions

Experimental group - infrared vascular imaging;Before PIVC, infrared light will be directed to the vein area and the procedure will be started after vein visibility is achieved. Experimental group - isometric hand exercise; Stress balls will be given to patients 10 minutes before the PIVC procedure and they will be asked to perform hand-clamping exercises with both hands. Processing will then begin.
