Özet
Background: Implantable port catheters and their needles may cause cancer patients to experience fear of pain. Objective: The aim of this article was to study the effect of video information provided before implantable port catheter insertion on the fear of pain and on postoperative pain level. Methods: The study is a randomized controlled trial conducted between July and December 2022 at a university hospital with a total of 84 cancer patients: intervention group (42) and control group (42). Descriptive analyses, chi 2 analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Student's t test were used to assess the data. Results: In the preoperative period, the mean score of the fear of severe pain subdimension of the patients in the control group was found to be higher than that of the patients in the intervention group (P < .05). When the postoperative pain levels of the patients were evaluated, no difference between the visual analog scale scores of the experimental and control groups was found (P > .05). Conclusion: Video information provided before the insertion of an implantable port catheter was found to reduce the fear of severe pain in cancer patients, but postoperative pain levels were not affected.
