Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

By drawing lots, the first set was chosen to correspond to the experimental group and the second set to correspond to the control group for the two groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

experimental group

During the angiography, the researcher asked the patient to squeeze the stress ball once for every count of three. The angiography procedure lasted approximately 25-30 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

experimental group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients in the experimental group were told how to use the stress ball before the procedure. The patient was then taken to the angiography unit. The stress ball was placed on the palms of the patients according to the procedure position. During the angiography, the researcher asked the patient to squeeze the stress ball once for every count of three. The angiography procedure lasted approximately 25-30 minutes. After the procedure, the NRS and STAI were filled out as a post-test 10 minutes after the patient was taken to the ward. The answers given by the patients were recorded by the researcher by marking them on the forms.

control group

No intervention other than the clinic protocol was applied to this group.
