<p>Objective</p><p>This study aims to determine the pain experienced by</p><p>adult patients during the bloodletting procedure and</p><p>to reveal the effect of visual and auditory methods</p><p>on the level of pain compared to routine bloodletting</p><p>procedures.</p><p>Material and Method</p><p>The study was conducted as a randomized controlled</p><p>trial. The study was carried out in a blood collection</p><p>unit of a hospital on 15.01.2022. A total of ninety-nine</p><p>patients were randomized into three groups (visual, auditory, and control groups). Visual Group patients</p><p>were asked to focus on the nature photograph on the</p><p>screen, and the Auditory Group patients were asked</p><p>to focus on the nature sounds they listened to. Data</p><p>were collected using the Personal Information Form</p><p>and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In the analysis</p><p>of the data, descriptive statistical methods, Kruskal-</p><p>Wallis, Pearson Chi-Square, and Monte Carlo Exact</p><p>Tests were used. The significance level was taken as</p><p>p&lt;0.05 and p&lt;0.001.</p><p>Results</p><p>No statistically significant difference was found</p><p>between the visual and auditory groups (p&gt;0.05).</p><p>However, the pain levels of the patients in the visual</p><p>and auditory groups were found lower than the pain</p><p>levels of the patients in the control group (p&lt;0.001).</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>This study reveals the positive effect of distraction on</p><p>the level of acute pain in adults. The study proves</p><p>that visual and audial methods can be used safely</p><p>within the scope of distraction methods and presents</p><p>evidence-based information.</p>
