Abstract :

 Pain inflicted by insertion of large cannula into AVF on regular HD is a significant cause of concern for both children and adult.1 Material and Methods: An evaluative approach with Pre– experimental one group post– test only design was used for the study. The sample consisted of 40 hemodialysis patients with arterio–venous fistula who undergo arterio–venous fistula puncture twice a week for hemodialysis, selected using purposive sampling technique. The pain intensity score and pain– related behaviors were assessed during AVF puncture both in routine management and cutaneous stimulation using Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Objective Behavior Check List. Result: The mean pain intensity score ( 1=4.3) during routine management was higher than the mean pain intensity score ( 2=1.7) during cutaneous stimulation. The calculated ‘t’ value (t39= 10.6 ) was greater than the table value (t39= 2.02,p<0.05 ) showed that there was a significant difference between the pain intensity during AVFP in hemodialysis patients with routine management and cutaneous stimulation. The mean pain–related behavior score ( 1=6.3) during routine management was higher than the mean pain–related behavior score ( 2=2.7) during cutaneous stimulation. The calculated ‘t’ value (t39=11.8) was greater than the table value (t39=2.02, p<0.05) showed that there was a significant difference between the PRB during AVFP in hemodialysis patients with routine management and cutaneous stimulation. Results suggesting that the intervention was effective in reducing the intensity of pain and pain–related behaviors during AVF puncture among hemodialysis patients. There was no significant association between pain intensity score, pain related behaviors with selected demographic variables. Conclusion: The findings of the study have shown that the cutaneous stimulation is an effective intervention in reducing pain and pain–related behaviors during AVF puncture procedure in hemodialysis patients
