The present study entitled “Compare the effect of Hegu point ice massage and
2% Lidocaine gel on arteriovenous fistula puncture related pain among patients on
hemodialysis in a selected hospital, Perinthalmanna. Objectives: Assess the pre-test
level of pain during arteriovenous fistula puncture among hemodialysis patients in both
experimental groups; Assess the effect of Hegu point ice massage on level of pain
during arteriovenous fistula puncture among hemodialysis patients; Assess the effect
of 2% Lidocaine gel on level of pain during arteriovenous fistula puncture among
hemodialysis patients; Compare the effect of Hegu point ice massage and 2% Lidocaine
gel on level of pain during arteriovenous fistula puncture among hemodialysis patients;
Find out the association between pretest level of pain with selected socio demographic
and clinical variables. Methodology: Quantitative approach and Quasi experimental
pre-test post-test two group design was selected. The study was based on modified
Donabedian model. The study was conducted in KIMS Al Shifa hospital,
Perinthalmanna among 70 hemodialysis patients using non probability purposive
sampling technique. Semi structured questionnaire and Numerical Pain Rating scale
was used for data collection. Pre-test was done during first session of hemodialysis for
both experimental group 1 and 2. Experimental group 1 received Hegu point ice
massage and experimental group 2 received 2% Lidocaine gel and post-test was done
during second session of hemodialysis using Numerical Pain Rating Scale. Analysis:
Data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The mean
post-test pain score of both experimental group 1 and group 2 was 4.21 and 2.7
respectively which was highly significant compared to the pre-test pain score of 6.21
and 6.42 respectively. The obtained t value was 6.551 with a p value of <0.001. The
findings showed that both Hegu point ice massage and 2% Lidocaine gel was effective
in reducing AV fistula puncture related pain, with 2% Lidocaine gel being more
effective. The study also revealed that there is significant association between gender
and past history of habits with pre-test level of pain. Conclusion: The study concluded
that both Hegu point ice massage and 2% Lidocaine gel was effective in reducing
arteriovenous fistula puncture related pain among patients on hemodialysis with 2%
Lidocaine gel being more effective, comparing the mean post-test pain score of both
groups. The study also concluded that there was significant association between gender
and past history of personal habits with pre-test level of pain whereas on the other hand
there was no significant association between pre-test level of pain with their selected
clinical variables.
