Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: This randomised controlled trial was conducted with patients who were hospitalised in the cardiology department of a university hospital. PVC was inserted, the researcher applied a hot or cold application to the catheter insertion site for one minute.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Hot Application
Before PVC was inserted, the researcher applied a hot application to the catheter insertion site (inner surface of the forearm) using a hot pack for one minute. Then, the researcher made the second vein assessment and inserted a 20-G peripheral catheter into the inner surface of the forearm.
Hot application
Before PVC was inserted, the researcher applied a hot application to the catheter insertion site (inner surface of the forearm) using a hot pack for one minute.
Cold Application
Before PVC was inserted, the researcher applied a cold application to the catheter insertion site (inner surface of the forearm) using a cold pack for one minute. Then, the researcher made the second vein assessment and inserted a 20-G peripheral catheter into the inner surface of the forearm.
Cold application
Before PVC was inserted, the researcher applied a cold application to the catheter insertion site (inner surface of the forearm) using a cold pack for one minute.
Standard Practice
The standard practice of the clinic was made. Accordingly, the researcher performed the vein assessment after the participants filled out the questionnaire, and then inserted the 20-G catheter into the inner surface of their forearm without any application. Afterwards, she assessed the pain and anxiety levels of the patients twice before and after the catheter insertion procedure.
