Brief Summary:
The target of this study was to determine the influence of stress ball application on pain and anxiety levels experienced by patients during angiography procedures.
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of stress ball application, which is a non-pharmacologic method, on the pain and anxiety levels of patients during the angiography procedure. The present randomized controlled trial was conducted on all adult patients undergoing angiography between January 2023 and June 2023 in the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of a state hospital in eastern Turkey. The sample population was composed of 120 randomized patients who underwent stress ball application and received routine care. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Patient Information Form, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were employed for data collection. The mean NRS posttest score of the experimental group patients increased significantly less than the control group (p\<0.001), while the mean STAI posttest score decreased significantly (p= 0.019). A positive significant correlation was determined between the mean NRS and STAI post-test scores of the patients in the experimental group (p\<0.05). It was found that the level of state-trait anxiety decreased as the pain decreased. The stress ball applied during angiography decreased the anxiety and pain levels of the patients. Stress ball application may be recommended as a complementary method to support pharmacologic treatment.
