Özet
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the anxiety, embarrassment, and pain levels of patients undergoing a cystoscopy procedure. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 151 male patients who underwent cystoscopy in a hospital operating room between October 2021 and 2022. Data were collected with the Beck Anxiety Inventory for anxiety in preoperative; the Numeric Rating Scale for anxiety, embarrassment, and pain in intraoperative. RESULTS: The mean score of the patients’ Beck Anxiety Inventory was 3.810±6.905; the mean scores of the first and second Numeric Rating Scale measurements were 1.79±1.23; 1.94±1.28 for anxiety; 2.77±2.54; 2.32±2.30 for embarrassment; 1.44±0.75; 3.46±2.15 for pain, respectively. As a result of the regression analysis, the anxiety levels of the patients before the procedure explained 15.2 and 38.6% of the embarrassment and pain levels during the procedure, respectively. CONCLUSION: Anxiety, embarrassment, and pain levels of the patients in terms of the cystoscopy procedure were related to each other, and these parameters varied during different steps of the procedure.
