Effect on Pain and Comfort Associated With Fistula Puncture

The Effect of Self-selected Soothing Music on Fistula Puncture-related Pain and Comfort in Hemodialysis Patients

Purpose This study was carried out as the design of the targeted design in terms of targeting and comfort in the patient with hemodialysis. Material and Methods: It was successfully tested both in the control team of a hospital at the point of sale in Turkey and with experience. By block randomization method to randomize. Data were collected with "Patient identification formula", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" and "Hemodialysis Comfort Scale". Independent sample t-test was used in the analysis of the data, analysis of variance in repeated measurements and Cohen'd was used to calculate the size.

It is appropriate to suggest a non-pharmacological rather clinical rather than a literature-free method, al. Also, due to the fact that the duration of anesthetic effect will expire from the dialysis treatment used (Subramanian et al., 2012). Participant's care continues for inappropriate pain management. This quality standard is one of the criteria of a standard rather than a preference for a simple, reliable and inexpensive non-pharmacological choice. As far as investigators know, there are very few studies investigating the effect of a patient's choice of music on pain following insertion of a needle into a fistula in hemodialysis patients. More focused on non-pharmacological types such as pharmacological and aromatherapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of the type of music chosen by hemodialysis patients on pain and comfort associated with fistula puncture.

To the Experimental Group; The information form and the short form of the comfort scale will be applied to the patient who is taken to the dialysis unit to start HD treatment.

In each session, the desired type of music will be played approximately 6 minutes before the procedure (Shabandokht-Zarmi et al., 2017). After the end of the music, the cannulation process will be performed by the dialysis nurse. The level of pain experienced by the patient immediately after needle insertion into the fistula will be evaluated with VAS by a research-independent nurse working in the dialysis unit.

Inclusion Criteria: be volunteering, 18 years or older, receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least 6 months not any hearing problem. Exclusion Criteria: have hearing problem not be volunteering.
