Study Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) glasses and the use of a stress ball on anxiety, pain, and satisfaction levels in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: one group received both VR and stress ball interventions during the procedure, while the control group received standard care. Anxiety, pain, and satisfaction levels were assessed and compared across the three groups at the conclusion of the procedure. The study seeks to contribute to evidence on non-pharmacological methods to improve patient comfort during invasive cardiac procedures.

Arms & Interventions
VR Group"Participants in this group were provided with virtual reality glasses during coronary angio
Participants in this group were provided with virtual reality glasses during coronary angiography to assess the effect on anxiety, pain, and satisfaction.
Intervention: Virtual Reality Glasses (Device)
Stress Ball Group
Participants in this group used a stress ball during coronary angiography to evaluate its effect on anxiety, pain, and satisfaction.
Intervention: Stress Ball (Other)
Control Group
Participants in this group received standard care during coronary angiography without the use of virtual reality glasses or stress ball. Anxiety, pain, and satisfaction levels were assessed
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) Scores
Time Frame: Before and immediately after coronary angiography procedure
the study will measure changes in situational anxiety levels of patients undergoing coronary angiography, using the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) before and after the procedure with virtual reality glasses and stress balls. The SAI consists of 20 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale, with total scores ranging from 20 to 80; higher scores indicate higher anxiety.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Anxiety Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scores(Before and immediately after coronary angiography procedure)
- Change in Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scores(Before and immediately after coronary angiography procedure)
