Clinical Trial Description

The rate of women who want to use Family Planning in the world has reached approximately 1.1 billion in the last twenty years and has shown a significant increase ( WHO, 2020) . In addition, WHO reported that almost half of the pregnancies in developing countries between 2015 and 2019 were unwanted pregnancies (WHO, 2020) , and recommended effective FP counseling and the use of more modern contraceptive methods to prevent this (WHO, 2020) . In Turkey, the Ministry of Health provides individuals with free access to modern FP methods. Despite this, according to the 2018 data of the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey ( Akdemir and Karadeniz 2019), it has been reported that 49% of the FP method uses modern methods and the Intrauterine Device (IUD) is among the most effective modern methods with a rate of 14% (Akdemir and Karadeniz 2019 ). Factors affecting IUD use include; Women's perception of pain during application and the fact that it can be applied in certain centers (Dine et al,2018; Hunter et al, 2020; Hamdamian et al., 2018). It has been reported in the literature that women perceive pain during IUD application (Akdemir and Karadeniz 2019; Dine et al,2018; Hunter et al, 2020; Hamdamian et al., 2018). Again, studies have reported the use of inhaled lavender, focus, and music to relieve pain and anxiety (Hamdamian et al., 2018; Hathcock et al., 2021; Türkmen et al.,2021) . These results emphasize the need for low-cost and applicable nonpharmacological methods for healthcare professionals during IUD insertion. No study has been found in the literature examining the effects of inhaler lavender, focus and music on women's pain and anxiety during intrauterine device application. However, in line with the results of the study, it is thought that it will have a positive effect on reducing the pain and anxiety perceived by women during the IUD procedure. ;
