The Effect of Listening to Music and Stress Ball Application on Patients' Anxiety Level and Hemodynamic Parameters During PCI

Percutaneous coronary intervention causes patients to experience anxiety and change their hemodynamic parameters. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of listening to music and applying a stress ball on patients' anxiety level and hemodynamic parameters during percutaneous coronary intervention.

• Literate,
• Able to communicate verbally,

• Emergency cases where communication cannot be established,
• Those with equipment problems such as monitors and cuffs,
• Those who will be given sedatives during the procedure,
• Those who will be taking cardiovascular system medications other than routine practices during the procedure,

• Those who do not want to wear headphones because they cannot hear the doctor's questions
• Those whose second measurements could not be taken because they were quickly removed from the interventional room,
• Those who underwent carotid artery angiography in addition to coronary artery,
• Those who give incorrect PCI history,
