Summary

This study was planned to determine the effect of hand reflexology on anxiety and vital signs in patients undergoing coronary angiography. In the G-power analysis conducted to determine the sample of the study, experiment and control were calculated as 60 in total, with the sample number of both groups being 30. Since the study is a single-blind randomized clinical trial, in order to determine the randomization , a box with the names of the patients determined according to the participation criteria will be determined by the selection of the healthcare personnel responsible for the service, and the experimental and control groups. "Demographic Data Form" , "Distress Thermometer". "State Anxiety Inventory" , "Vital Signs Form" and Visual Analog Scale will be used to collect research data.

Reflexology

The patient will be kept in a lying position. First, the patient will be given four minutes of hand reflexology on each hand with warming and stimulation techniques.Reflexology will be applied to the left hand with the thumb of the right hand, the thumb of the left hand and the special points in the right hand. It will be applied to the fingers, palm, back of the hand, and finally the wrists, respectively, starting with the fingertips and using special reflexology techniques (a total of six minutes for each hand separately). By sending a moderate stimulus, a total of 20 minutes of reflexology session will continue.Since the patient reveals and uses his own internal energy at the end of the session, nobody should talk to the patient until five minutes after the procedure. Survey questions and vital signs would be examined five minutes after the session and the research with the participant would end.
