Impact of Communication on Pain During Intravenous Cannulation in an Emergency Department: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental: Intervention message (first phase), Placebo Comparator: Control message (first phase), and 2 other interventions for Pain, Acute and Catheterization, Peripheral. Completed, enrolled 251 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main goal of this study is to investigate whether the communication between patients and healthcare providers has an impact on pain and anxiety induced by the insertion of a peripheral venous catheter in an emergency department. Another goal is to determine if the effect is mediated by the content of the message in itself or if it is mediated by non-verbal cues . Therefore, the message will be delivered by either an audio recording in the first phase of the study, and by the healthcare providers themselves in the second phase of the study. A secondary goal is to assess whether there are discrepancies between the patients' pain and anxiety reports and the healthcare providers' evaluation of the patient's pain and anxiety.
