Summary

Thyroid nodules are among the common health problems in adulthood. Thyroid cancers account for approximately 1% of all malignancies in a year.The majority of cancers are diagnosed by thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy. The most commonly diagnosed cancer type is papillary thyroid cancer and accounts for 85% of all thyroid cancers.Thyroid Ultrasonography is the most important imaging method used in the evaluation of the thyroid gland and its nodules. It enables the detection of nodules and their characteristics and plays a role in deciding which nodules should be evaluated with fine needle aspiration biopsy.Non-pharmacological treatment methods are interventions that can be used to reduce the side effects of medical, surgical or pharmacological treatments. By using medical treatment and complementary therapy together, nurses can reduce patients' anxiety, support their sleep, create a healing environment and increase their health level.

As a non-pharmacological strategy, distraction can be seen as a cost-effective approach to reduce anxiety in procedures that would cause negative anxiety and increase the opportunity for ease of operation. The curtain method also typically involves the use of visually interesting curtains or partitions that can be drawn around the patient's examination area. These curtains may have calming images or vibrant patterns that can help shift the patient's focus away from the frightening procedure being performed.
