The most active members of the healthcare professionals responsible for hemodialysis units are nurses, and they have a key role in pain, anxiety and satisfaction management as they are responsible for cannulation. Therefore, complementary and integrated practices need to be implemented based on evidence to strengthen the independent role of nurses in managing pain and anxiety.

Patients in the intervention group; ten minutes before the needle is inserted into the arterio-venous fistula, clove oil will be applied by the interviewer as a spray between 0.5-1 ml, depending on the length of the patient's fistula. Patients in the placebo group; 10 minutes before the needle is inserted into the arterio-venous fistula, 0.5-1 ml of aromatic cloves, which do not contain active ingredients and dissolved in pure water, will be applied as a spray by the interviewer, depending on the length of the patient's fistula.
This is the group in which 0.5-1 ml of aromatic clove, which does not contain active ingredients and is dissolved in pure water, is applied as a spray to the arterio-venous fistula area, depending on the length of the fistula, ten minutes before needle cannulation in all hemodialysis sessions for four weeks in individuals receiving standard hemodialysis treatment.
