Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of stress ball application in the management of anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy.
Detailed Description
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of stress ball application in managing anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy.
This experimental study was performed with experimental-control group (N=66) patients.Data will be collected using the "Personal Information Form", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)", "State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S)" and "Patient Follow-up Form".

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Personal Information Form
Time Frame: 12 months
Personal Information Form : This form, developed by the researcher based on literature, includes the age, education level, marital status, employment status, income level, daily pain coping strategies, stress coping strategies, previous surgery history, and whether patients are aware of prostate biopsy. It consists of nine questions . It will be used to determine the individual characteristics of the patient.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 12 months
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) : This scale is used to assess the severity of pain. It is usually a 10 cm long horizontal or vertical line that begins with "No pain" and ends with "Unbearable pain." It will be used to determine the patient's pain intensity.
State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S)
Time Frame: 12 months
State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) (Appendix 3): The State Anxiety Inventory has two subscales, each consisting of 20 items. The State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) describes how individuals feel under different circumstances and in the moment, while the Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) describes how they generally feel in their lives. The inventory is a 4-point Likert-type scale, with ratings based on the severity of the emotions and behaviors in the State and Trait Anxiety Subscales. According to the results, average anxiety scores range from 36 to 41, with scores above indicating high anxiety and below indicating low anxiety. It will be used to determine the patient's anxiety level.
Patient Follow-up Form
Time Frame: 12 months
Patient Follow-up Form: This is the form created to record the vital signs of the patients \[pulse, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and oxygen saturation values (SpO2)) measured by the researcher before and after the procedure. It will be used to monitor and evaluate the patient's vital signs.
