Clinical Trial Summary

Cholecystectomy is the most common major abdominal surgical procedure in western countries. Patients may experience fear and anxiety before surgery. Stress ball, one of the distraction methods, is an effective method in providing cognitive focus. It is seen that the stress ball method is used to reduce patients' anxiety and pain. Squeezing the stress ball during the surgical procedure allows patients to have direct control over the object, increasing their sense of empowerment. In this way, it has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without interfering with the surgical procedure. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative use of stress ball on patients' fear, stress and comfort in order to determine the effect of stress ball applied before cholecystectomy surgery on patients' surgical fear, stress and comfort. It is thought that the data obtained as a result of the research will provide evidence for the effect of the stress ball, which is a non-pharmacological method used before the procedure, on fear, stress and comfort.
