简要总结
Objective: This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of stress ball on symptom severity, quality of life, depression, anxiety and stress in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Material and Method: The data of the randomized controlled experimental study will be collected at the gastroenterology outpatient clinic of Erzurum City Hospital. A simple randomization list was created with the Random Allocation Software program and it will be carried out with a total of 56 patients diagnosed with IBS, including 28 experimental and 28 control groups. Patients in the experimental group were asked to squeeze the stress ball for at least 10 minutes every day for 4 weeks. No treatment will be applied to those in the control group. Patient information form, IBS symptom severity score, IBS quality of life scale, Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale will be used to collect research data.

详细描述
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic biopsychosocial disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain, constipation and/or diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and urgent defecation.The diagnosis of IBS is made using the Rome IV criteria. With the emergence of IBS symptoms, individuals' daily lives, work, sleep patterns, leisure time, eating habits, travels, sexual and social relationships are adversely affected. It is stated that anxiety and depression exacerbate IBS symptoms, impair quality of life, increase health service seeking behaviors, and increase health care use and costs.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of stress ball on symptom severity, quality of life, depression, anxiety and stress in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Patients who come to the outpatient clinic will be met, information will be given about the research, and consent will be obtained from the patients who agree to participate in the research. The groups of the patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be determined according to the randomization list.
Patient information form, IBS symptom severity score, IBS quality of life scale and Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale will be administered by the researcher using face-to-face interview technique (pre-test) to the patients in both groups.
The patients in the experimental group will be given information on how to use the stress ball in the room in the outpatient clinic and a stress ball will be given to each patient. The first sessions of the patients will be held together with the patient in the outpatient clinic. Patients will apply a stress ball (squeezing the stress ball) once a day at home. The stress ball is made of round, colorful, high-quality silicone. A stress ball of medium hardness and 6 cm in diameter (suitable for adult use) will be used in the research. When it is loosened, it returns to its original state. In the experimental group, the patients are required to squeeze the ball once after counting to three, inhale each time they squeeze the ball, exhale when they loosen their grip, and focus only on the ball. In order to ensure the continuity of the stress ball application, the phone numbers of the patients will be taken and a reminder message will be sent every day. A 4-week record will be created and they will be asked to mark the data showing the amount of application each day to be allocated. The IBS symptom score will be evaluated by searching the prices of each week.

结局指标
主要结局
Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Score,
时间窗: Four weeks
The IBS symptom severity score was developed to assess the severity of symptoms in IBS. The scale is widely used to monitor the progression and treatment of the disease. The IBS-SSS assesses the severity and duration of abdominal pain (abdominal pain, painful days), abdominal bloating (bloating), satisfaction with bowel habits (bowel habit), and quality of life. The scale consists of a total of 5 questions, each ranging from 0 to 100 points. The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 500, and high scores indicate an increase in disease severity. In the scale, 0-74 points are classified as remission, 75-174 as mild, 175-299 as moderate, 300 points and above as severe severe IBS.
