Randomization in the study will be done by the researchers with the Randomizer Research program. The research will be carried out between 01.01.2023 and 01.10.2023 with the participation of 134 patients who were hospitalized in the postoperative period at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Orthopedics and Traumatology Service and participated voluntarily. In the study, in the G.Power 3.1.9.4 program, the effect size was 0.5, the confidence level was 95%, and the power was 80%, and the minimum sample size to be reached was 134 patients (67 experiments- 67 controls), each group consisting of 67 people. Before the study, all patients will be informed by the researchers, and written consent will be obtained from the patients who volunteered to participate in the study. All patients will be asked the questions in the Patient Information Form and the pretest Vizuel Analog Scala (VAS) scores in the Patient follow-up form will be recorded before the subcutaneous (SC) injection application. The patients in the experimental group will be given a stress ball before the SC injection during the routine daytime treatment of the ward at 10:00. The patient will be asked to squeeze the stress ball with his hand on the opposite extremity of the upper extremity where SC injection was applied, counting to five, and then to relax his hand. The level of pain in the area where SC was applied will be evaluated with VAS. For the patients in the control group, 0.4 ml of LMWH will be administered by the nurse in the routine daytime treatment of the service at 10:00, according to the doctor's request. During the patient's drug administration and 2 minutes after the application. The level of pain in the area where SC was applied will be evaluated with VAS.
