About this trial
One of the non-medical interventions aimed at reducing sensitization is the cognitive-behavioral approach, in which the individual's attention is shifted from a painful stimulus to an external stimulus. This non-pharmacological approach can be adopted to alleviate stress and reduce cortisol concentrations in response to stress. There are a limited number of studies in the literature using distraction techniques during mammography. This study will examine the effects of distraction techniques on pain and anxiety during mammography.

Treatments tested in this trial
listening to music or chatting
Other interventionWritten consent will be obtained from the patients just before they enter the procedure, and Personal Information Forms and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) will be applied to all participants. Women in the experimental group will be asked to listen to a lively music of their own choosing during the mammography, or for those who do not want music, their attention will be drawn in a different direction by chatting. At the end of the procedure, the Visual Acuity Scale (VAS) pain scale and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) will be applied to both groups.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes

Visual Analog Scale
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is one of the most commonly used instruments to subjectively measure various states such as pain and anxiety. It is a 10 cm ruler with 0 at one end indicating no pain or anxiety and 10 at the other end indicating the worst imaginable pain or anxiety. The scale was used to assess pain after examination in only 2 groups.
Time frame

State Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
To measure state anxiety, which refers to how one feels at the moment, and trait anxiety, which refers to how one feels in general. The State Anxiety Inventory consists of 20 self-reported 4-point Likert-type items, with negatively worded items reverse scored. Total scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating increased levels of anxiety.
