Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study is to compare two methods of visual distraction and auditory distraction to reduce the pain, stress and vital sign changes of the fistulas needles in hemodialysis elderly patients. For this purpose, a double blind controlled randomized clinical trial study is conducted on 120 hemodialysis elderly patients. The population of all hemodialysis elderly patients referred to the Ghiasi hospital. Through purposive sampling, patients were selected and randomly assigned to three groups will be (Routine method, visual distraction, and auditory distraction). Each sample group includes 40 patients. Each intervention will be done at three intermittent hemodialysis sessions. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients will be recorded with questionnaire. For the auditory distraction intervention group at three time nature based sounds and in visual distraction intervention group at three time films about nature will be done for 20 minutes. The intensity of stress before injection and the intensity pain after injection will be evaluated and recorded. Vital signs before and after the injection will be measured. All of the needles will be of the same material and size. Finally, the degree of pain, stress and vital sign changes resulted of the three groups will be compared.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Interventions 1: For the auditory distraction intervention group at three intermittent hemodialysis sessions, nature based sounds at three time films about nature will be done for 20 minutes.
