The Effect of Listening to Music and Stress Ball Application on Patients' Anxiety Level and Hemodynamic Parameters During PCI

The Effect of Listening to Music and Stress Ball Application on Patients' Anxiety Level and Hemodynamic Parameters During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of listening to music and applying a stress ball on patients' anxiety level and hemodynamic parameters during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Percutaneous coronary intervention causes patients to experience anxiety and change their hemodynamic parameters. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of listening to music and applying a stress ball on patients' anxiety level and hemodynamic parameters during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years and older,
• Literate,
• Able to communicate verbally,
• Turkish speaking,
• No hearing or vision loss,
• No sensory or motor deficits in the hand or arm,
• Percutaneous coronary intervention will be applied,
• intervention from the femoral artery,
• Voluntarily participated in the research,
• Patients signing the informed consent form will be included.

• Restricted special groups (pregnant women, criminal convicts, etc.),
• Emergency cases where communication cannot be established,
• Those with equipment problems such as monitors and cuffs,
• Those who will be given sedatives during the procedure,
• Those who will be taking cardiovascular system medications other than routine practices during the procedure,

• Those who give up using the stress ball,
• Those who were given cardiovascular system medications other than routine practices during the procedure,
• Those who underwent intervention from a different artery instead of the femoral artery,
• Those who do not want to wear headphones because they cannot hear the doctor's questions
• Those whose second measurements could not be taken because they were quickly removed from the interventional room,
• Those who underwent carotid artery angiography in addition to coronary artery,
• Those who give incorrect PCI history,
