Catheter Placement and Perceived Pain, Pain, Vital Sign Monitoring
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study, the effect of cold application on the pain experienced during port catheter needle insertion and the change in the patient's vital signs will be evaluated. It is thought that with this application, patients will experience less pain during port catheter needle insertion. The change in the patient's vital signs and pain status will also be evaluated. The research will be conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy department of a Hospital.
Detailed description
The effects of lidocaine cream, cryotherapy (cold application to the skin), cutaneous stimulation therapy (pressure and massage) methods , virtual reality application and aromatherapy applied via inhalation on reducing pain were investigated in order to reduce the pain during port catheter needle insertion. In this study, the effect of cold application on the pain experienced during port catheter needle insertion and the change in the patient's vital signs will be evaluated. It is thought that with this application, patients will experience less pain during port catheter needle insertion. The change in the patient's vital signs according to the pain status will also be evaluated. The research will be conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy department of Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The universe of the research will consist of all patients with port catheters in the outpatient chemotherapy department of Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The sample of the research will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the research.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain level | before and in ten minutes after cold application | patients pain levels will be assessed with a Visual analogue scale (0-10 point) |
| Vıtal Sıgns (blood pressure, mm/Hg) | before and in ten minutes after cold application | blood pressure will be evaluated with an electronic device |
| Vıtal Sıgns (body temperature, Celcius degree) | before and in ten minutes after cold application | body temperature will be evaluated with an electronic device |
| Vıtal Sıgns (pulse rate in one minutes) | before and in ten minutes after cold application | pulse rate will be evaluated by researchers manually. |
| vital signs (saturation rate, %) | before and in ten minutes after cold application | saturation rate will be evaluated with using a pulse meter |
