Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • stress ball and anxiety

    The impact of stress ball use during spinal anesthesia on anxiety.The effect will be assessed with the STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory)scale both before and after the procedure. On this scale, the minimum and maximum values range between 20 and 80, and higher values indicate greater stress.

    Before and after the procedure, at 5 minutes.

  • stress ball and pain

    Evaluating the impact of stress ball usage during spinal anesthesia on pain through VAS (Visual Analog Scale) scoresThe VAS score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating more pain.

    during the procedure

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Stress ball and blood pressure

    Before and after the procedure, at 3 minutes.

  • Stress ball and pulse

    Before and after the procedure, at 3 minutes.

  • Stress ball and saturation

    Before and after the procedure, at 3 minutes.

Study Arms (2)

Stress ball group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patient group in which a stress ball is used during spinal anesthesia.

Other: The use of a stress ball

The control group

NO INTERVENTION
