Factors Affecting Procedural Pain and Discomfort Experienced by Individuals During Nasopharyngeal Swabbing: A Cross-Sectional Study
Women and individuals with negative opinions about the procedure experienced more pain and discomfort during the nasopharyngeal swabbing. Most of the participants complained more about discomfort than pain. It is recommended to apply alternate test methods and conduct nurse-led information studies to reduce the anticipation of procedural pain/discomfort.
