Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	State Anxiety Scale	The scale developed by Spielberger et al. aims to measure state and trait anxiety levels separately.The scores obtained from the scale vary between 20-80, and the total score between 20-39 indicates mild anxiety, between 40-59 indicates moderate anxiety, and between 60-79 indicates severe anxiety.	10 minutes after procedure
Primary	General Comfort Scale	The scale, which was developed by Kolcaba in 2006 and has a total of 28 questions as 'Refreshing (9 items), Relaxation (9 items) and Overcoming Problems (10 items), consists of three sub-dimensions.The lowest value that can be taken is 1, which indicates low comfort, and the highest value, 6, indicates high comfort.	10 minutes after procedure
Primary	Visual Analog Scale	It is aimed to determine the level of pain.0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain	In the middle (10 minutes) of the procedure
