Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients will be provided with an explanation, and verbal and written consent will be obtained. A patient identification form will be completed 10 minutes before the procedure. Pain levels will be determined with a pre-test VAS, anxiety levels will be determined with a STAI-S, and vital signs will be measured and recorded. The patient will be undressed and helped into a surgical gown to protect their privacy. The patient will be placed in a left lateral position on a stretcher with both legs drawn up toward their abdomen. The environment will be quiet and free from external stimuli. During the biopsy procedure, the patient will be asked to squeeze and release the Stre ball once every five counts for 10 minutes. Because blood pressure may drop or dizziness may occur after the procedure, the patient will be taken to the recovery room and monitored for bleeding. Fifteen minutes after the procedure, the severity of pain and anxiety levels during the procedure will be determined, and vital
