- EXPERIMENTAL

- cold therapy
- description
- Pain scores were measured with a visual analog scale (VAS) before the port catheter was removed from the patients in the experimental group. Before the port catheters were removed, cold application with an ice pack was applied to the patients whose first visual analog scale measurement was made by the researchers. The cold application was terminated an average of 15 minutes after the body temperature decreased by 1 °C.
