简要总结
The target of this study was to determine the influence of stress ball application on pain and anxiety levels experienced by patients during angiography procedures.
详细描述
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of stress ball application, which is a non-pharmacologic method, on the pain and anxiety levels of patients during the angiography procedure. The present randomized controlled trial was conducted on all adult patients undergoing angiography between January 2023 and June 2023 in the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of a state hospital in eastern Turkey. The sample population was composed of 120 randomized patients who underwent stress ball application and received routine care. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Patient Information Form, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were employed for data collection. The mean NRS posttest score of the experimental group patients increased significantly less than the control group (p<0.001), while the mean STAI posttest score decreased significantly (p= 0.019). A positive significant correlation was determined between the mean NRS and STAI post-test scores of the patients in the experimental group (p<0.05). It was found that the level of state-trait anxiety decreased as the pain decreased. The stress ball applied during angiography decreased the anxiety and pain levels of the patients. Stress ball application may be recommended as a complementary method to support pharmacologic treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
时间窗: two weeks
This scale, which assesses the degree of pain, aims to make the patient express their pain in numbers. It starts with no pain (0) and goes up to unbearable pain (10 or 100). The high level of pain reporting is known as a disadvantage. Miró et al. found that the validity of the NRS for pain assessment was at an acceptable level (Miró et al., 2009). Hjermstad et al. compared the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS) for the assessment of pain intensity in adults and found that the NRS was more understandable and easier to use than the VAS and VDS
