About this trial
This study aims to determine the effects of shotblocker and manual pressure applied during peripheral venous catheter placement on pain and satisfaction. 81 patients hospitalized in the Urology clinic will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned to three groups as shotblocker (n=27), manual pressure (n=27) and control group (n=27) by block randomization method.
Research Hypotheses
* H1-1: The mean pain scores of the intervention group to which shotblocker was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-2: The mean pain scores of the intervention group to which manual pressure was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-3: The mean satisfaction scores of the intervention group to which shotblocker was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group. * H1-4: The mean satisfaction scores of the intervention group to which manual pressure was applied during peripheral intravenous catheterization are different from the control group.

Treatments tested in this trial
Manual pressure
Other interventionBefore the procedure in the manual pressure group, the vein entry area will be pressed with the right hand thumb for 10 seconds. The pressure will be applied until the nail bed turns white.
Shotblocker
Other interventionIn the Shotblocker group, the shotblocker will be placed 2 cm above the vein entry point and will remain throughout the procedure.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The minimum score on the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 10. A score of 0 indicates no pain, while a score of 10 indicates unbearable pain.
Secondary outcomes
Patient Satisfaction Scale
It is a horizontal scale that can be scored between 0 and 10. It is a measurement tool that starts with "I am not satisfied at all - 0" - "I am very satisfied - 10" and ends with.The minimum score on the scale is 0 and the maximum is 10. A score of 0 indicates that the procedure is not satisfactory at all, while a score of 10 indicates that the procedure is very satisfactory.
