Effectiveness of Vapocoolant Spray on Venipuncture Pain in Young Male Donors

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of vapocoolant spray in reducing pain related to venipuncture in young, healthy male blood donors. Hypotheses: H1: Vapocoolant spray reduces venipuncture pain during blood donation. H0: Vapocoolant spray does not reduce venipuncture pain during blood donation.

Detailed Description
-----------------
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent. Before the procedure was begun, the donors who agreed to participate in the study were met face-to-face and asked to fill in the Informative Characteristics Form, the VAS, the Blood/Injection Fear Scale and the STAI-I forms.Then the donors were assigned to their groups by the researcher.The donors in the control group were not given any intervention during the blood collection process. Vapocoolant spray was applied to the donors in the vapocoolant spray group. During the blood collection procedure, after the donors' skin was cleaned with antiseptic solution, spray was applied to the application site for a maximum of 10-15 seconds from a distance of 25 cm. In both groups, immediately following venipuncture, pain assessment was made with the VAS by the researcher, who did not know which group each participant belonged to.
