Summary

The Effect of Using a Stress Ball During Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy on Anxiety, Pain, and Hemodynamic Variables

Conditions

  • Stress

Interventions

OTHER

Stress ball

The stress ball intervention will be performed during the biopsy procedure for an average duration of 10 minutes. A round, medium-firm silicone ball with an approximate diameter of 6 cm, made of high-quality materials, will be used in the application. Patients will be instructed to place the ball in the palm of their hand, count to three, then squeeze and release it once. They will be informed that they should continue this practice for 10 minutes and focus their attention on the stress ball. The ball will be washed and cleaned after each use and wiped with single-use aseptic wipes before being given to the patient. During the biopsy procedure, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), VAS-A, and hemodynamic variables of both the intervention and control groups will be evaluated again by the researchers at three time points
