Detailed description

This study was planned to determine the effect of hot application, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods that can be applied to reduce pain during the Rigid Cystoscopy procedure, on pain, anxiety and comfort levels. This study is a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of heat application on patients' pain, anxiety and comfort levels during the cystoscopy procedure. The population of the research consisted of individuals who were hospitalized in the Cystoscopy unit of Manisa Provincial Health Directorate Merkez Efendi State Hospital between November 2023 - June 2024, and the sample consisted of individuals who met the inclusion criteriaan dagreed to participate in the research. Participants (n=62) were randomized into two groups: intervention (n=31) and control group (n=31) in a 1:1 ratio, using random numbers generated by the simple randomization method on the computer. The intervention group consisted of 5 women and 26 men, the control group consisted of 8 women and 23 men, a total of 13 women and 49 men who is over over 18 years The sample group was presented according to the CONSORT diagram. Heat application was not applied routinely to the intervention group, and unlike the intervention group, heat application was not applied only with thermophor to the control group. However, the scales and forms were evaluated and blood pressure and pulse rate were measured during the same period. Incollecting data; 'Individual Introduction Form', 'Information Form Regarding the Cystoscopy Procedure', 'Visual Comparison Scale (VAS)', 'Data Recording Form', 'State Anxiety Scale' and 'General Comfort Scale Short Form' were used.
