Brief summary

Colposcopy, evaluation of cervical cytological abnormalities and It is the gold standard procedure for the early diagnosis of preinvasive and invasive diseases. Despite her Essentially a minimally invasive intervention, even referring the patient to colposcopy can cause significant anxiety and distress in patients. Increased anxiety can also lead to deterioration in health-related quality. Studies have been conducted to reduce the anxiety of women undergoing colposcopy, but there are no publications on topics such as anxiety, pain perception, and pain catastrophizing. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been called the art and science of personal excellence, the study of subjective experience. NLP helps us understand the difference between our actions that produce mediocre results or failure and those that require success or excellence. NLP: How do I do something I do well?, How can I do it better?, How can I gain skills that I admire in others? It addresses questions like . It is important to note that NLP is not limited to observable behavior. Our way of thinking, that is, all experience and It also includes the mental processes that control our actions. By dealing with the entire structure of a person's experience (in fact, their motivation), it tries to shape the thought processes, emotions and beliefs that result in a behavior. It is especially about our communication with ourselves as well as with others. No study was planned on pain and pain perception during colposcopy by teaching the NLP technique to the patients.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALneurolinguistic programmino

In this randomized controlled study, the group of patients with an indication for colposcopy in the Gynecological Oncology Department of Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, will be divided into two groups and NLP training will be given before colposcopy in a double-blind manner, and after colposcopy, VAS (visual pain scale), fear of pain scale will be given. 3, evaluation will be made using the pain catastrophizing scale. NLP training will be given for approximately 20 minutes, and the group that will not receive NLP training will remain silent for 20 minutes. The results will be compared.
