Summary

Investigators observed that during the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) non-pharmacological methods used for reducing the level of the pain and anxiety among the patients with the urinary stones are not sufficient and the effectiveness of these methods is controversial. There are very few studies, which investigated the effects of music on the pain and anxiety during ESWL. In addition, any randomized clinical trial related to the use of stress ball for relaxation and distraction on the reduction of pain and anxiety during lithotripsy has not been found in the relevant literature. Investigators also evaluated that further evidence-based studies are necessary. Thus, investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of stress ball and music for reducing the pain and anxiety of the patients during ESWL in this study.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Stress ball

The patients in this group were given stress ball into both their palms 5 minutes before ESWL. Participants were instructed to "squeeze the balls twice after counting up to ten" and "repeat it until the end of the procedure". This ball was medium hard and has been made of high quality silicon.

OTHER

Music

The patients in this group were also listened to the music chosen by them with a headset from 5 min before until the end of lithotripsy. Types of music played for the patients were Turkish folk music, Turkish art music, Turkish arabesque music, Turkish pop music, foreign pop music, rock music, and classical music.
