Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This research is planned as a randomised controlled study. Place and time of the research: The research is planned with patients who will undergo endometrial biopsy procedure in Zonguldak Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to the Ministry of Health.
While there are various experimental studies in the literature on the effect of stress ball on anxiety during many painful procedures, there is no study in the literature on the effect of stress ball on anxiety level during endometrial biopsy procedure (Akarsu, Kuş \& Akarsu 2021, Genç 2021Nurdina, Anggraini \& Novyanda 2022, Srivarsan, Sridevi \& Preetha 2021, Yanks et al. 2018,) In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of stress ball application on anxiety level during endometrial biopsy procedure

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Endometrial biopsy is the gold standard method in the diagnosis of endometrial pathologies and is widely used in gynaecological practice. Although endometrial biopsy is a common gynaecological procedure, its psychological effects have not been emphasised. In particular, the potential stress before and during the procedure, exposure to the test and the waiting time for the biopsy result have been mostly ignored. Patients with bleeding in the postmenopausal period already present to the physician with anxiety, and when it is stated that a biopsy should be taken for diagnosis, their anxiety increases due to both the procedure itself and the possibility of an unfavourable outcome at the end of the procedure.
While there are various experimental studies in the literature on the effect of stress ball on anxiety during many painful procedures, there is no study in the literature on the effect of stress ball on anxiety level during endometrial biopsy procedure .In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of stress ball application on anxiety level during endometrial biopsy procedure.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
experimental-stress ball
The study is planned to consist of two groups as experimental and control.
No intervention will be given to the control group.
stress ball
In the study, the experimental group was given a round, compressible ball for stress ball application and it was planned to squeeze this ball in their hands as often as they wanted during anaesthesia and endometrial biopsy application. The endometrial biopsy procedure is a procedure that usually takes between 8-10 minutes. The results will be evaluated considering these average times. As it is foreseen that individuals may experience the most intense anxiety and stress during anaesthesia and biopsy, it was preferred to cover this time period.
no intervention- none
The study is planned to consist of two groups as experimental and control.
No intervention will be given to the control group.
control
In the study, the no intervention group ( control group) will receive no intervention and blood pressure and stress measurements will be made with routine care and nursing interventions.
