EFFECT OF DISTRACTION METHODS ON ACUTE PAIN IN ADULTS: RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Abstract

Objective This study aims to determine the pain experienced by adult patients during the bloodletting procedure and to reveal the effect of visual and auditory methods on the level of pain compared to routine bloodletting procedures. Material and Method The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The study was carried out in a blood collection unit of a hospital on 15.01.2022. A total of ninety-nine patients were randomized into three groups (visual, auditory, and control groups). Visual Group patients were asked to focus on the nature photograph on the screen, and the Auditory Group patients were asked to focus on the nature sounds they listened to. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistical methods, Kruskal- Wallis, Pearson Chi-Square, and Monte Carlo Exact Tests were used. The significance level was taken as p<0.05 and p<0.001. Results No statistically significant difference was found between the visual and auditory groups (p>0.05). However, the pain levels of the patients in the visual and auditory groups were found lower than the pain levels of the patients in the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion This study reveals the positive effect of distraction on the level of acute pain in adults. The study proves that visual and audial methods can be used safely within the scope of distraction methods and presents evidence-based information.
