Cannulation-Related Pain in Dialysis Patients With Arteriovenous Fistula
Condition: Hemodialysis Access
MeSH terms: Arteriovenous Fistula; Fistula
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      It was conducted to investigate the effect of ice application to the kaleidoscope and hoku
      point on the management of cannulization-related pain in patients receiving hemodialysis
      treatment.
    

Detailed description: 
      After obtaining the necessary permissions for the research, the patients who were followed up
      in the hemodialysis unit of X,Y, Z Hospitals were randomly divided into three groups
      (Kaleidoscope application, ice application and control group).

      Patients were made to sign written voluntary consent forms by the researchers.After the
      patients were transferred to the randomized program for the arrival days and TC numbers for
      the dialysis session, they were assigned to the experimental and control groups.

      The patients' pain levels were evaluated during 3 dialysis sessions.
    

Intervention name(s): KaleidoscopeGroup; Ice Application Group; Control Group
Intervention type(s): Other; Other; Other
Intervention description(s): The group consists of 34 people. Pain level was measured during 3 dialysis sessions.In order for the patients in the kaleidoscope group to recognize the device and increase their compliance during the procedure, a practice was performed using the device before the AVF cannulation procedure. Kaleidoscope application was performed during cannulation.; The group consists of 34 people. Pain level was measured during 3 dialysis sessions. Before, during and after AVF cannulation, VAS pain scores will be evaluated after cannulation without any intervention.Ice application application was made with non-melting ice molds to the area where the index finger and thumb of the hand with fistula are joined (HOKU point); The group consists of 34 people. Pain level will be measured during 3 dialysis sessions. In the control group, the vital signs of the patients before AVF cannulation will be recorded.
Other intervention name(s): Experimental; Experimental; Experimental
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention model description: After obtaining the necessary permissions for the research, the patients who were followed up in the hemodialysis unit of X,Y, Z Hospitals were randomly divided into three groups (Kaleidoscope application, ice application and control group).
Patients were made to sign written voluntary consent forms by the researchers.After the patients were transferred to the randomized program for the arrival days and TC numbers for the dialysis session, they were assigned to the experimental and control groups.
The patients' pain levels were evaluated during 3 dialysis sessions. The pain level was evaluated without the procedure on the first day. 2 and 3. on the other hand, pain levels were evaluated after the interventions per day.
The data in the research are; Patient Diagnosis Form, Numerical Rating Scale and Life Signs Follow-up Form and Kaleidoscope Application Patient Experience Form, It was collected using the Patient Experience Form Related to Ice Application.
