About

The gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer is an ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. Despite its low complication rates, the procedure can cause significant stress, discomfort and anxiety in patients. This study aimed to determine whether visually introducing the materials (ultrasound, probe, biopsy needle) used during the biopsy could reduce patient anxiety and increase comfort.

Full description

Forty patients suspected of having prostate cancer were included in this prospective study. All patients received detailed information about the procedure, but they were divided into two groups. The first group was shown photographs of the devices alongside the written consent form, while the second group received only the written consent. The study compared the pain, depression and anxiety scores between the two groups
