Özet:

 Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of multimedia education given before gynecological examination on the anxiety, fear and plevic pain levels of patients. Method: This single-blind prospective randomized controlled study included 80 volunteer women aged 18-50 years who applied to the gynecology and obstetrics clinic. 80 women were randomized into two groups as study n40 and control group n40. The women in the study group were given information and training via multimedia before gynecological examination. The anxiety of the patients was assessed using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory STAI-1-2 and Visual Analog Scale VAS. Fear of gynecological examination and pelvic pain were assessed with VAS. All assessments were repeated before and after the examination. Results: In the training group, the intragroup change analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the STAI-1, pelvic pain VAS, anxiety VAS and fear VAS scores p0.002; p0.001; p0.001; p0.001. There was a significant difference in the anxiety level between groups p0.005. The STAI-1, pelvic pain VAS, anxiety VAS and fear VAS of the patients in the training group decreased in the course of time. Conclusion: Multimedia patient information training before the gynecologic examination is thought to be a very effective method to reduce the anxiety, fear and pelvic pain of patients.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma jinekolojik muayene öncesinde verilen multimedya eğitiminin hastaların kaygı, korku ve pelvik ağrıdüzeyleri üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Bu tek kör prospektif randomize kontrollü çalışmaya jinekoloji ve obstetrik kliniğine başvuran 18-50 yaş aralığındaki 80 gönüllü kadın dahil edildi. 80 kadın çalışma n40 ve kontrol grubu n40 olmak üzere iki gruba randomize edildi. Çalışma grubundaki kadınlara jinekolojik muayene öncesinde multimedya ile bilgi verilerek eğitim verildi. Hastaların kaygısı Durum-Özellik Kaygı Envanteri STAI-1-2 ve Görsel Analog Skala VAS kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Jinekolojik muayene korkusu ve pelvik ağrısı VAS ile değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm değerlendirme muayene öncesi ve sonrasında tekrarlanmıştır. Bulgular: Eğitim grubunda, grup içi değişim analizi STAI-1, pelvik ağrı VAS, anksiyete VAS ve korku VAS puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir iyileşme gösterdi p0,002; p0,001; p0,001; p0,001. Gruplar arasında anksiyete düzeyinde anlamlı bir fark vardı p0,005. Eğitim grubundaki hastaların STAI-1, pelvik ağrı VAS, anksiyete VAS ve korku VAS düzeyleri zamanla azaldı. Sonuç: Jinekolojik muayeneden önce multimedya hasta bilgilendirme eğitiminin hastaların anksiyetesini azaltmada çok etkili bir yöntem olduğu düşünülmektedir.
