About this study

It aimed to examine stress, anxiety and resorting to life paths to enable researchers to contain this stress.

Read the 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 groupRoleWhat they receive
Stress ballExperimentalData 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.
Receives: Other: Stress ball
ControlNo intervention25-30 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. State Anxiety Score

    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.

    Measured: Change in state anxiety score within one day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Distress Thermometer

    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.

    Measured: Only on day 1, 2 times a day (same day).

  2. Systolic Blood Pressure Value (mmHg)

    The effect of the intervention on systolic blood pressure is examined.

    Measured: Only on day 1, 2 times a day (same day).

  3. Diastolic Blood Pressure Value (mmHg)

    The effect of the intervention on diastolic blood pressure is examined.

    Measured: It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.

  4. Heart Rate/Minute Value

    The effect of the intervention on the heart rate is examined.

    Measured: It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.

  5. Respiratory Rate/Minute Value

    The effect of the intervention on the respiratory rate is examined.

    Measured: It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.

  6. Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Value

    The effect of the intervention on peripheral oxygen saturation is examined.

    Measured: It will be measured 3 times a day (same day) on day 1 only.
