An interventional study of Hand Extension Rubber in Pain, Anxiety and Satisfaction, sponsored by Necmettin Erbakan University. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-13.

The study aims to investigate the effect of a hand extension rubber used in patients with peripheral intravenous catheters on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction.
While the use of non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain and anxiety levels and increase satisfaction during peripheral intravenous catheterization has gained importance in recent years, studies on techniques that are easy to implement, low-cost, and proven to be effective-particularly in adults-remain limited. It is believed that the hand extension rubber has the potential to reduce pain and anxiety as a distraction method, thereby increasing patient satisfaction. The findings will enhance nurses' adherence to evidence-based practices and improve the quality of patient care. This study holds unique value as it is the first research in Turkey to address this method in adult individuals.
