Intervention:
Intervention type:
Behavioral
Intervention name:
stress ball
Description:
The intervention group was provided with a stress ball to be held in both hands for a
period of five minutes prior to the insertion of the port catheter needle. They were
instructed to squeeze the ball in their hands at regular intervals until the conclusion
of the procedure.
Arm group label:
intervention
Summary:
The objective of this study was to ascertain the impact of stress ball utilisation on
perceived stress, pain and satisfaction levels during port catheter intervention in
cancer patients. In this study, which was conducted in a randomised controlled design, a
control group of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy (n=37) was assigned to receive
standard care during port catheter needle insertion. An intervention group (n=37) was
also formed, comprising patients who received stress ball application in addition to
standard care. The intervention group was provided with a stress ball in both hands five
minutes prior to the insertion of the port catheter needle and instructed to squeeze the
ball in their hands at regular intervals until the conclusion of the procedure. Prior to
the application, the descriptive characteristics of both groups were ascertained, and
their perceived stress levels were assessed. Subsequently, the pain and perceived stress
levels of both groups were documented. Additionally, the satisfaction levels of the
intervention group regarding the stress ball application were evaluated.
