The effect of using fidget cube on pain and anxiety during lipoma excision

Abstract

Aim: Pain and anxiety that occur in individuals during surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia are important health care problems that need to be managed. This study aimed to evaluate the effect using fidget cube on pain and anxiety in patients during lipoma excision. Material and Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial. The study was carried out between October 1, 2019, and March 1, 2020. Inclusion criteria for individuals were that they were over 18 years old and agree to take part in this study, undergoing lipoma excision with local anesthesia, having sufficient vision, hearing, and speech functions, speaking Turkish. Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Inventory, and Numeric Rating Scale were used to collect data Ethics committee permission was obtained. The study was performed with a total of 92 individuals, 46 of them were intervention group and the rest were control group. The intervention group used fidget cube additionally during lipoma excision, and the control group took only routine treatment in the hospital. Results: 68.5% of the participant was male and 31.5% was female. The mean age of the participants was similar in the intervention (41.67±11.48) and the control (44.59±13.83) groups (p=0.275). There was significant difference between the intervention (2.67±1.69) and control (4.46±2.82) groups in terms of the mean pain intensity during the excision procedure (p<0.001). The means of anxiety scores of the intervention (38.63±5.24) and control (40.39±6.04) groups before excision were similar (p=0.139). There was no significant difference between the means of anxiety scores (Intervention group=42.63±5.26; Control group 41.76±5.50) after intervention (p=0.440). Conclusion: In this study it was determined that the intervention reduced the pain during lipoma excision but had no effect on participants’ anxiety. It has been suggested that this intervention should be used routinely for managing the pain during the procedure.
