Effects of Shotblocker and Manual Pressure on Pain and Satisfaction

This study aims to determine the effects of shotblocker and manual pressure applied during peripheral venous catheter placement on pain and satisfaction. 81 patients hospitalized in the Urology clinic will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned to three groups as shotblocker (n=27), manual pressure (n=27) and control group (n=27) by block randomization method.

Research Hypotheses

* H1-1: The mean pain scores of the intervention group to which shotblocker was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-2: The mean pain scores of the intervention group to which manual pressure was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-3: The mean satisfaction scores of the intervention group to which shotblocker was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-4: The mean satisfaction scores of the intervention group to which manual pressure was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group.
