Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Comfort level

Time Frame: 30 minutes after angiography

The scale, which is based on the concept of comfort, consists of a total of 24 items, 12 of which question the comfort status of the individual before and after the surgical intervention, 12 of which question positive and 12 of which question negative experiences.

Anxiety level

Time Frame: 30 minutes after angiography

This inventory, which consists of a total of 40 items, is analyzed in two separate sections: The first part is the State Anxiety Inventory, which consists of 20 items, and the individual answers this section with his/her current feelings. The second part is the Trait Anxiety Inventory, which also consists of 20 items, and the individual answers this section with the feelings they have felt in the last 7 days.

Pain level

Time Frame: 30 minutes after angiography

Pain will be assessed with the Visual Analog Scale. This scale consists of a 10 cm line with values between 0 and 10. The beginning of the line (number 0) indicates "no pain", while the end of the line (number 10) indicates the most severe pain.
