Sponsor's own description
AIM This study aims to investigate the effects of stress ball use on stress, anxiety, and vital signs in patients receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. METHOD This study will be conducted with 50 breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at the Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit of Rize Training and Research Hospital, using a randomized controlled experimental design. Simple randomization will be used for group assignment. Data will be collected using a Breast Cancer Patient Information Form, Distress Thermometer, and State Anxiety Inventory. It is planned that data will be collected both before and after the chemotherapy session. ORIGINALITY / SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTION To date, no study has been found in the literature evaluating the effects of stress balls on stress, anxiety, and vital signs in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Therefore, this project is considered original and is expected to contribute to both national and international scientific literature. If successful, the project will provide evidence for a new non-pharmacological intervention that is easy to use during chemotherapy sessions and can help improve patients' stress, anxiety, and vital signs. Patients may experience more comfort and better treatment compliance during chemotherapy. EXPECTED OUTCOMES It is expected that the use of a stress ball will have a positive effect on reducing stress and anxiety levels and improving vital signs in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
