Primary outcomes

  1. Scale Patient Identification Form

    Time frame: during injection procedure

    Patient Identification Form

    It was prepared by researchers by examining the literature on the subject. This form includes 5 questions that include some sociodemographic characteristics of the individual (age, gender, marital status, education status, employment status, etc.) and 8 questions that include characteristics related to health, illness and treatment (presence of chronic disease, body mass index, etc.).

  2. Visual Scale for pain

    Time frame: during injection procedure

    Visual comparison scale for pain The scale consists of a single item, the scale is formed by a 10 cm long line on the horizontal plane. The leftmost side of the line (starting point) is scored as 0 (zero) and the rightmost side (ending point) is scored as 10 (ten) points for the highest possible pain. In order for the patient to score the pain, he/she is asked to mark a point on the line during the injection process. After marking, the distance from the starting point to the marked place is measured and the score is formed. The scale has been proven to be reliable in terms of Turkish as a result of the study conducted by Yaray et al.

  3. Visual Comparison Scale for Satisfaction

    Time frame: during injection procedure

    Visual Comparison Scale for Satisfaction In this scale, scores between 0 and 10 were used to determine satisfaction levels. A score of 0 represented the least satisfaction level, while a score of 10 represented the highest satisfaction level. The Visual Analog Scale was used so that patients could express both their pain and satisfaction levels.
