Interventions

stress ball

After completing the data collection form, participants in the intervention group will undergo the stress ball application conducted by T.Ç.Y. and N.B. In addition to the clinic's routine treatment and care procedures, patients in the intervention group will be briefly instructed and shown how to use the stress ball approximately 45 minutes before leaving the clinic. The stress ball application will last for approximately 15 minutes. A round, medium-firm, high-quality silicone ball with an approximate diameter of 6 cm will be used. Patients will be instructed to hold the ball in their palms, count to three, squeeze it once, and then release it. They will be asked to continue this procedure for 15 minutes while focusing their attention on the stress ball. After each use, the ball will be washed and cleaned, and before being handed to the patient, it will be wiped with disposable aseptic wipes.
