Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analog Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, pre-intervention (Before Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy)
The patients were asked to mark their level of pain during relaxation or activities on a 10 cm vertical or horizontal line. In addition, there were forms which were numbered from 1-10 or from 1-100. The number 0 is found at the beginning of the line, and the number 10 is located at the end of the line. A value of 0 shows that there is no pain, and the value 10 expresses unendurable pain. VAS is a common scale in the assessment of pain level. A patient is asked to mark the perceived pain on this line, and the marked point is measured in cm

State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI FORM TX-1)
Time Frame: Baseline, pre-intervention (Before Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy)
State anxiety refers to transient emotional reactions manifested by the individual to on constant situations with varying intensity depending on the situation. In situations where the individual perceives the stressful situation as a threat, the level of "state anxiety" is high and in situations where this danger is not perceived as threatening, the level of state anxiety is low. The state anxiety inventory requires the individual to describe how they feel at a given moment and under certain circumstances, taking into account their feelings about the situation in which they are in. It measures the state of the individual, that is, the level of anxiety in which they are currently in. The intensity of the instantaneous stress, anxiety, and excitement responses caused by conditions increases or decreases over time. Individuals respond to the items on the inventory based on the degree of severity of their emotions at the moment.
