Pain and Anxiety in Peripheral Venous Catheterization, Jet Lidocaine, Ice Application

Investigation of the Effect of Jet Lidocaine and Ice Application on Pain and Anxiety in Peripheral Venous Catheterization (PVC). The research will be carried out experimentally with a single group post-test method. The universe of the research; Between June-December 2022, all patients who need peripheral venous catheterization (PVK) for the treatment plan will be formed in the internal clinics of Gümüşhane State Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of 80 patients from the defined population who meet the inclusion criteria. Power analysis was used to determine the number of samples in the study. First of all, patients who are hospitalized in the internal clinics of Gümüşhane State Hospital and who meet the inclusion criteria will be determined. Written and verbal consent will be obtained for their participation by giving information about the research. PVK application will be applied to all patients by the same investigator. Each patient will create their own control group in order to control individual differences in pain and anxiety. In the study consisting of two intervention and a control group; The same patients will be included in the intervention groups and the control group. Randomization will be done to determine the order of intervention to be applied to the patients. The interventions for each patient will be numbered by the researcher and the order of procedure will be determined by drawing lots. After the cephalic vein for the first attempt is randomly determined, the other extremity vein will be used while performing consecutive PVC applications. To control the research in terms of bias; During the data collection phase, help will be taken from the clinical nurse who takes care of the patient. The nurse, who does not know which intervention is applied, will be asked to evaluate the patient's pain and anxiety. In this respect, the research will be considered single-blind.
