Abstract
Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the effect of a breathing exercise during peripheral venous cathetererization on pain, anxiety, and patient satisfaction. Design: Randomized Controlled Study. Methods: The study was completed with a total of 130 individuals. Individuals in the intervention group performed diaphragmatic breathing exercises during catheterization. Findings: The mean pain, anxiety, and satisfaction scores of the individuals in the intervention group were 0.29 ± 0.70, 3.18 ± 2.29, and 7.66 ± 2.20, respectively. In the control group, the mean pain score was 1.30 ± 1.47, the anxiety score was 4.35 ± 2.42, and the satisfaction score was 4.87 ± 1.63. The pain and anxiety levels of the individuals in the intervention group were lower and the satisfaction scores were higher than the control group. Conclusions: Breathing exercises reduced individuals' pain and anxiety levels and increased individuals' satisfaction. In addition, it reduced the application time, pulse rate, and blood pressure.
