Clinical Trial Summary

Individuals who come to the neurology clinic to undergo lumbar puncture, and meet the inclusion criteria, and agree to participate in the study will be given a stress ball during the procedure and will be asked to squeeze this ball.


Clinical Trial Description

Before starting the research, the purpose of the research will be explained to patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and their verbal and written consent will be obtained. The Declaration of Helsinki will be adhered to throughout the research. Data will be obtained by administering face-to-face surveys. The population of the study will be individuals who meet the inclusion criteria at the neurology clinic of Istanbul University - Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, and the individuals who agree to participate in the study will constitute the sample. To determine the number of samples, a comparison of two groups was made using the "G-Power 3.1.7" program. The minimum sample size that would provide Type I margin of error (α): 0.05 and power of the test (1-β): 0.80 was determined as 47 people in total. Taking into account sample loss, it was aimed to reach a total of 50 people. Then, the form questioning socio-demographic information and the STAI XT State-Trait Anxiety Scale will be applied. Before the LP begins, the patient's free hand will be given an elastic ball that is large enough to hold in the palm of the hand and squeeze easily. He/she will be asked to squeeze this ball slowly throughout the process. At the end of the procedure, the ball will be removed from his hand and the patient will be relieved. After the patient is relaxed, the STAI XT State-Trait Anxiety Scale will be administered again. The state anxiety scale is a sensitive scale for evaluating sudden changes in emotional reactions. The trait anxiety scale aims to measure the continuity of anxiety that a person generally tends to experience. Since this study aims to evaluate the anxiety levels of patients regarding their current situations, the state anxiety scale will be used. ;
