Stress ball

Experimental group

Description:

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.
