Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Purpose: This study will be conducted on the effect of infrared light on PIVC procedure fear, procedure pain, and patient satisfaction in oncology patients receiving chemotherapy treatment. The investigators will implement the study during the insert on PIVC; the vascular imaging device with the infrared light group; the vascular access transillumination group; and the control group. Design: This is a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study.

Arms (3)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Vascular imaging device with the infrared light group
- description
- The patient's vital signs, skin color and skin turgor will be evaluated and recorded in the PIVC procedure registration form. The skill duration will be measured and recorded by the researcher with a stopwatch. The selection of the necessary materials will not be added to this time, the chronometer will be started after the tourniquet is attached, and the time will end with the blood coming to the PIVC. Data obtained on PIVC placement; vein visibility, the catheter number used in the procedure, the time to identify the appropriate vein, the successful PIVC placement time, the number of attempts for successful catheter placement, the vein in which the catheter was placed, the pain and fear levels before, during and after the procedure. These data will be recorded in the data form regarding the PIVC application. Finally, patients will be asked about their level of satisfaction with the procedure at the end of the infusion.

- description
- The patient's vital signs, skin color and skin turgor will be evaluated and recorded in the PIVC procedure registration form. Before the tourniquet is attached before the procedure, the patient's vein visibility will be evaluated by the research nurse. The vein imaging device will be opened with transilluminator, the tourniquet will be connected, and the vein visibility will be re-evaluated by the operator. The skill duration will be measured and recorded by the researcher with a stopwatch. The selection of the necessary materials will not be added to this time, the chronometer will be started after the tourniquet is attached, and the time will end with the blood coming to the PIVC. Data obtained on PIVC placement; the pain and fear levels before, during and after the procedure. Finally, patients will be asked about their level of satisfaction with the procedure at the end of the infusion.
