简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effect of using stress balls during oral care procedures performed on conscious patients in the intensive care unit on patients' pain, anxiety, and stress levels.
详细描述
This study aims to evaluate the effect of using a stress ball during oral care procedures on pain, anxiety, and stress levels in conscious patients in the intensive care unit. Individuals meeting the inclusion criteria and voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study were randomly assigned to groups. Pre-test forms will be administered. The stress ball group will be given a stress ball by the researcher before oral care and will be asked to focus on and squeeze the ball for 15-20 minutes during oral care. The control group will continue with routine treatment and care; no additional intervention will be applied. Post-test measurements will be evaluated after oral care.
