Brief Summary

It is known that being in nature and the visual perception of nature positively affects an individual's mood and self-confidence. Studies have reported that natural sounds have a positive effect in situations such as pain, anxiety, and stress. This finding means that listening to natural sounds may be a simple and easily accessible intervention that can positively impact key human stress systems. Although many non-pharmacological methods are used in the literature to reduce the invasive pain and anxiety experienced by hemodialysis (HD) patients during cannulation, the most popular recently; However, we aimed to determine the effect of the sound of running water, which we have not yet encountered in dialysis patients, on invasive pain and anxiety experienced during fistula access.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain Assessment

  VAS

  nearly 40 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• State and Trait Anxiety Assessment

  nearly 40 days

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

During the cannulation process, the experimental group will listen to the sound of flowing water throughout the process through the researcher's smartphone. The experimental and control groups will be administered VAS before, during and after each cannulation, and the State and Trait Anxiety Scale will be administered before the dialysis session and after the 12th first session.

Other: Running water sound

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group will be provided with standard care and no intervention will be made. A total of 12 sessions will be followed in both groups.
