| Introduction: Pain
during insertion of vascular needles is the most stressful part of the
hemodialysis treatment. Repeated painful interventions have adverse effects on
the body and the spirit of these patients. Due to central role of nurses in
care, they have important role in reducing the pain of these patients. This
study was conducted to determine the effect of lidocaine spray on the pain
intensity when the needles are inserted into vascular access for hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: A
semi-experimental and double blind study was performed on 30 patients in
hemodialysis ward of Semnan Fatemieh hospital. In this study, pain intensity
during the insertion of hemodialysis vascular needles was measured by numerical
pain scale in a one group by using Lidocaine spray and Lidocaine spray placebo.
Pair T test was used to determine pain intensity mean difference between two
conditions. Results: Overall,
the results showed that the mean pain intensity was 2.3±1.91 and 3.96±2.14 in
two conditions using lidocaine spray and lidocaine spray placebo, respectively.
However, a significant difference was found between the mean pain intensity in
two conditions statistically by using paired t- test (P |
