Effect of Distraction Technique on Pain and Anxiety During Mammography
Sponsor: Hitit University
Summary
One of the non-medical interventions aimed at reducing sensitization is the cognitive-behavioral approach, in which the individual's attention is shifted from a painful stimulus to an external stimulus. This non-pharmacological approach can be adopted to alleviate stress and reduce cortisol concentrations in response to stress. There are a limited number of studies in the literature using distraction techniques during mammography. This study will examine the effects of distraction techniques on pain and anxiety during mammography.

listening to music or chatting
Written consent will be obtained from the patients just before they enter the procedure, and Personal Information Forms and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) will be applied to all participants. Women in the experimental group will be asked to listen to a lively music of their own choosing during the mammography, or for those who do not want music, their attention will be drawn in a different direction by chatting. At the end of the procedure, the Visual Acuity Scale (VAS) pain scale and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) will be applied to both groups.
