The Effect of an Animation Video and Music on Anxiety and Pain Scores Before TRUS-guided Biopsy
Journal Title: The Bulletin of Urooncology - Year 2021, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this investigation is to investigate the effect of a pre-procedure animated video and music on blood pressure, pain score, anxiety score and pulse rate in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy. Materials and Methods: One hundred and two male patients who underwent a TRUS-guided prostate biopsy were randomised into two groups. A control group: no music or with a video included (n=51) and an experimental group: pre-education with an animation video and music included (n=51) during the procedure. Before and after the TRUS biopsy, the state-anxiety inventory score (STAI), pain visual analogue scale (VAS), heart rate and blood pressure were obtained from each patient and compared. Blood pressure and pulse were recorded by the urologist. Student’s t-test and a paired t-test were used for variables with a normal distribution and Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon-rank tests were used for variables that did not show a normal distribution (p<0.05). Results: There were no differences prostate-specific antigen, age and prostate volume between the two groups. VAS, STAI scores and pulses differed between the two groups before and after the procedure. There was no difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure values before the procedure. However, a significant difference was found between the two groups regarding these values after the procedure. There was a statistically significant difference in the VAS, STAI, blood pressures and pulse rates after the procedure compared with the pre-procedure values (p<0.05). Conclusion: Watching the animation video and listening to music positively affected patients’ anxiety, pain score, blood pressure and pulse values. This method is a low-cost, readily available application, which might be preferred by particular patient groups.
