Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    A visual analog scale will be used to measure the pain caused by intrauterine device application. It is a two-ended scale that is used to measure the intensity of pain and is graded on a horizontal line, with one end starting from 0 and the other end ending at 10. The patient is asked to mark a point on this line that corresponds to the intensity of pain he feels. The numerical value marked by the patient indicates the severity of pain. A VAS value of 0 indicates no pain, 1-3 indicates mild pain, 4-6 indicates moderate pain, 7-9 indicates severe pain, and 10 indicates unbearable pain.

    It will be used for 10 months, which is the data collection period. It will be used before and ten minutes after intrauterine device application.

  • State Anxiety Inventory

    State anxiety inventory; It is a scale consisting of 20 questions that include the options of (1) not at all, (2) a little, (3) quite a bit, (4) completely, depending on the severity of the emotions at that moment, so that the individual can describe how he feels at a certain moment. Accordingly, the total score obtained from the scale can vary between 20 and 80. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of anxiety.

    It will be used for 10 months, which is the data collection period. It will be used before and ten minutes after intrauterine device application.

Study Arms (3)

Emotional freedom technique group

EXPERIMENTAL

Pre-test data will be collected after women are informed about the emotional freedom technique. After the pre-test data is collected, the emotional liberation technique will be applied to the women. After the emotional liberation technique session is completed, the intrauterine device (IUD) will be applied. Post-test data will be collected within 10 minutes after IUD application is completed.

Other: Emotional freedom technique group

Music group

EXPERIMENTAL

Women in the music group will be informed about the procedure steps before intrauterine device (IUD) application and pre-test data will be collected. After the pre-test data is collected, the music list prepared by the women and researchers will be shown and the women will be asked to choose a piece. Women who do not want to listen to any music on this list will be allowed to listen to the music they prefer. The music concert will be performed with headphones, and women will be asked to listen to the music until the IUD application process is completed. Post-test data will be collected within 10 minutes after IUD application.

Other: Music group

Control group

OTHER

No intervention will be applied to women in the control group.

Other: Control group

Interventions

Emotional freedom technique will be applied to women in this group before intrauterine device application.

Emotional freedom technique group

Women in this group will wear headphones and listen to music throughout the intrauterine device application.

Music group

No intervention will be applied to women in the control group.

Control group

Masking Details
In order to ensure randomization and prevent contamination between groups, data will be collected in a sequence such that emotional freedom technique is collected one week, music is collected one week, and control group data is collected one week. It will be decided by drawing lots which group's data will be collected first.
