EVALUATİON OF DATA 
The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for 
Social Sciences) for Windows 22.0 program. The Kolmogorov Smirnov Test will be used 
to determine whether the research data is normally distributed. According to the 
Kolmogorov Smirnov Test, if p>0.05, the distribution is determined to be normal. 
However, if p<0.05, the distribution is determined to be non-normal and the Skewness 
and Kurtosis values of the data are examined. If the Skewness and Kurtosis values are 
between +2 and -2, the variable is considered to be normally distributed. The 
homogeneity of the descriptive characteristics between the groups will be tested with 
chi-square analysis. For the difference between the means of two independent groups, 
if the data is normally distributed, the t-test will be used, and if the data is not normally 
distributed, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used. Changes in measurements within the 
group will be analyzed with the repeated measures Anova test if the data is normally 
distributed, and if the data is not normally distributed, the Friedman test will be used. 
 
IMPLEMENTATİON OF THE STUDY 
The rationale and purpose of the study will be explained to patients who meet the 
inclusion criteria. Written informed consent will be obtained from patients who agree to 
participate in the study. Patients will be assigned to the intervention and control groups 
with simple randomization. Patients in both groups will be administered the Patient 
Identification Form and State-Trait Anxiety Scale before the port catheter needle 
insertion procedure. Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, 
urination-related anxiety and visual analog scale will be measured and recorded in the 
Symptom Chart 
(Pre-test). Patients in the experimental group will be informed by the researcher about 
the educational content created regarding the port catheter needle insertion procedure 
and breathing exercises. The researcher will watch the educational content and answer 
the questions of the experimental group patients. No educational content will be 
administered to the control group patients. Port catheter needle insertion will be applied 
to both groups. After the procedure is completed, the State and Trait Anxiety Scale and 
the Symptom Schedule from the data collection tools will be re-applied to the patients 
in both groups (Post-test).
