Summary

The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of Thermomechanical Stimulation Device (Buzzy®) and Virtual Reality Goggles (VRG) applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization (PIC) on pain and patient satisfaction in adult patients.

Detailed description

The research was carried out at the Emergency Department of the Etimesgut Şehit Sait Ertürk State Hospital in Ankara from April 2021 to February 2022. The sample of the study consisted of 126 adult patients. The patients were divided into three groups by randomization method. VRG was applied to the first group, Buzzy to the second group and the control group which was the third group using the standard procedure. Before the procedure of PIC, "Introductory Characteristics Form for Patients" was prepared by the researcher containing the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants (gender, marital status, age, educational status, etc. as such). This form was filled out by asking the patient by face-to-face interview method. After catheterization, the "Visual Comparison Scale for Pain" was used by the nurse practitioner to determine the pain of the patients and the "Visual Comparison Scale for Satisfaction" was used to determine the satisfaction status of the patients regarding the application to be performed. It is expected that pain and patient satisfaction scores in groups where a VRG and Buzzy® were used during PIC in adult patients will result more positively than in the control group. It is thought that the results obtained from the research will contribute to the literature.
