Determination of anxiety levels after verbal and video informing before hemodialysis catheter insertion

Treatment options for end-stage renal patients are renal transplantation, peritoneal dialysis, or hemodialysis, and the majority of these patients live on hemodialysis dependent. The venous access route required for hemodialysis is provided by dialysis catheters until arterio-venous shunts are performed. The aim of this study was to determine the difference between verbal or video-related anxiety levels of patients with hemodialysis and determine which one is better before the hemodialysis procedure is performed.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Agree to participate ın the study
• No need for emergency hemodialysis
• No previously known psychiatric disorder

• No history of surgical procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

• <18 years of age and >65 years
• Need emergency dialysis
• The presence of previously known psychiatric disorder

The study was planned to receive 84 people. The people to be recruited will be divided into groups.

1. the group will only be informed verbally.
2. The group will be informed as both verbal and video. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and VAS score will be made after informing all groups and after Hemodialysis Catheter Insertion
