Effect of Breathing Exercise During Peripheral Venous Catheterization on Pain, Anxiety, and Patient Satisfaction: A
1Erciyes University, Institute of Health Science, Department of Nursing, Kayseri, Turkey.
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.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Assessment of Respiration
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...
