Brief summary: Pregnancy termination is a difficult and painful procedure can be done by medically or uterine curettage. Studies have been conducted to reduce the anxiety of women undergoing pregnancy termination, but there are no publications on topics such as anxiety, pain perception, and pain catastrophizing.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been called "the art and science of personal excellence", "the study of subjective experience". NLP helps us understand the difference between our actions that produce mediocre results or failure and those that require success or excellence.

NLP: "How do I do something I do well?", "How can I do it better?", "How can I gain skills that I admire in others? It addresses questions like ". It is important to note that NLP is not limited to observable behavior. Our way of thinking, that is, all experience and it also includes the mental processes that control our actions. By dealing with the entire structure of a person's experience (in fact, their motivation), it tries to shape the thought processes, emotions and beliefs that result in a behavior. It is especially about our communication with ourselves as well as with others.

No study was planned on pain and pain perception during pregnancy termination by uterine curettage by teaching the NLP technique to the patients.

Detailed description: In this randomized controlled study, the group of patients who underwent uterine curettage with the indication of pregnancy termination in the Septic Service of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital will be divided into two groups and NLP training will be given before uterine curettage in a double-blind manner and VAS (visual pain scale) after uterine curettage. Evaluation will be made using the fear of pain scale-3 and the pain catastrophizing scale. NLP training will be given for approximately 20 minutes, and the group that will not receive NLP training will remain silent for 20 minutes. The results will be compared.
