Abstract Background: integrating vein visualization technology into oncology nursing practice contributes to improved clinical outcomes, including reduced pain, reduced anxiety level and higher successful insertion rates among chemotherapy patients. Aim: To evaluate the effect of using vein visualization device on (pain, anxiety, cannulation success rate) among patients receiving chemotherapy. Design: Quasi-experimental after -only nonequivalent control group design was utilized. Sample: A convenience sample of 60 adult male and female patients receiving chemotherapy for a period of six consecutive months, 30 in each group. Tools: the following tools were utilized in the current study: 1.Demographic and Medical Data Form (DMDF), 2. Adult Difficult Intra Venous Access (A-DIVA), 3. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11), 4. State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), 5. Success Rate Assessment Tool and 6. Vein Visualization Device (Pigeon Medical DVA30). Results: All participants in both groups received a 22-gauge cannula inserted in the hand (100%). 83.3% in the control group and 90.0% in the study group had severe insertion difficulty, there was highly statistically significant differences between the control and study groups regarding PVC insertion (pain, anxiety, and cannulation success rate) (p 0.05). Conclusion: vein visualization devices in PIVC insertion for chemotherapy patients is an effective intervention that significantly reduces pain, improves insertion success rates, but had no effect on anxiety levels. Recommendation: Future research with larger sample sizes should explore the integration of vein visualization devices within broader vascular access management programs in oncology practice.
