Detailed Description
Stress and anxiety lives of patients before coronary angiography. The stress and anxiety they experience also affect their vital signs. The researchers aimed to examine the ways the stress ball affected their patients' stress, anxiety, and vital signs.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Stress ball Data were collected by the investigator 25-30 minutes before coronary angiography and the first measurement of vital signs was made. After the stress ball application, State Anxiety Inventory data were collected for the second time and the second measurement of vital signs was made. Vital signs were measured and noted for the third time after coronary angiography. |
Other: Stress ball
Stress ball squeeze
|
| No Intervention: Control 25-30 minutes before the coronary angiography procedure, data were collected from the patients by the investigator and the first measurements of their vital signs were recorded. Vital signs were measured a second time just before coronary angiography without any intervention. Vital signs were measured and recorded for the third time after coronary angiography ischemia. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- State Anxiety Score [Change in state anxiety score within one day]
Scale measuring patients' anxiety. The scores obtained from the scale vary between 20 and 80. A large score indicates high anxiety, and a small score indicates low anxiety.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Distress Thermometer [Only on day 1, 2 times a day (same day).]
It is a scale that measures the patient's stress level. The scale is scored between 0 and 10 points. A score of 0 indicates no stress, and a score of 10 indicates extreme stress.
- Systolic Blood Pressure Value (mmHg) [Only on day 1, 2 times a day (same day).]
The effect of the intervention on systolic blood pressure is examined.
- Diastolic Blood Pressure Value (mmHg) [It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.]
The effect of the intervention on diastolic blood pressure is examined.
- Heart Rate/Minute Value [It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.]
The effect of the intervention on the heart rate is examined.
- Respiratory Rate/Minute Value [It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.]
The effect of the intervention on the respiratory rate is examined.
- Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Value [It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.]
The effect of the intervention on peripheral oxygen saturation is examined.
