Summary:Introduction This study was conducted to determine the effect of the sound of running water, which we had not previously encountered being used in dialysis patients, on invasive pain and anxiety experienced during cannulation. Methods The research was conducted as a randomized, controlled study. A descriptive form, a VAS pain scale, and state–trait anxiety scales were used as a data collection form. The data were analyzed on SPSS version 22.00 for Windows software. The independent groups t‐test was applied to compare descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, number, and percentage in independent groups, while categorical data were compared using the chi‐square test. The effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable was tested using linear regression analysis. p values
