About this trial

This quasi-experimental study aims to determine the effect of watching an therapeutic video on patients' pain, anxiety, and comfort levels during thyroid biopsy procedures. The study will be conducted in the interventional radiology unit of Muş State Hospital between July 30, 2025, and August 28, 2026. A total of 68 patients (34 experimental and 34 control) will be included. Data will be collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS-Pain), State Anxiety Inventory, and Visual Analog Scale for Comfort (VAS-Comfort). The intervention group will watch a relaxing video immediately before and during the biopsy procedure, while the control group will receive standard care. Pre- and post-test measurements will be compared to evaluate changes in pain, anxiety, and comfort levels

MULTİSENSORY Video
Other intervention
The multisensory video is a short therapeutic and relaxing video designed to stimulate multiple senses-sight and hearing-simultaneously. It includes calming nature scenes, soft background music, and soothing narration to create a relaxing environment. The purpose of the multisensory video is to reduce anxiety, distract attention from the invasive procedure, and enhance patient comfort during the thyroid biopsy.
