After the application, a positive relationship is determined between the pain level and anxiety (r=-0.79; p=0.02), whereas this has a negative relationship with age (r=0.78; p=0.03).Conclusion: As a result, pain develops depending on bone marrow aspiration and biopsy; therefore, taking precautions aimed at alleviating pain and evaluation of pain before and after the application within the scope of total maintenance have been suggested.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCareGenderHealthSexAnxiety-depressionBone marrow aspiration and biopsyPainScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineMedicine, general & internalGeneral & internal medicineArticle00042410760000416717229410.5505/agri.2017.90582
