Brief summary
In this study, it was aimed to determine the anxiety levels and comfort levels of the patients using stress ball in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the study consisted of 156 patients receiving HD treatment at a special hemodialysis center. The study was completed with a total of 63 patients, including 31 people in the intervention group and 32 people in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study between 27.02.2023 and 27.03.2023. The individual demonstration form was used to collect data, the Visual Analog scale (VAS) for stress level and the hemodialysis comfort scale.
Detailed description
Procedures administered to intervention groups: Patients will be given written and oral consent by explaining the purpose of the study. Patients with fistula and non-grafted arms will be asked to fill out data collection forms at the first interview. Patients will then be asked to squeeze the stress ball 15 minutes before the start of hemodialysis treatment and for 15 minutes during hemodialysis treatment. This treatment will be performed during the 9 (nine) hemodialysis treatment. After the last session, data collection forms will be filled out again. Use of stress Ball 1\) Place a stress ball in one hand (which hand will be left to the patients' wishes.) 2.Squeeze the ball in your hand for 2-3 seconds after receiving it and then loosen it. 3.Perform this application for a total of 30 minutes before and during hemodialysis treatment. Procedures administered to control groups: No intervention will be given to the control group other than standard treatment. Data collection forms will be completed before the first dialysis session and after the ninth session.

| Beck Anxiety Scale | One mounth. | Developed by Beck et al. (1988). The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the original scale is .93. The Turkish version of the Beck anxiety scale was prepared by Ulusoy et al. (1998). The scale consists of 21 items and two sub-dimensions. BAO provides quadruple lycert-type measurement. The lowest possible score on the scale is 0 and the highest score is 63. Those who answered never to the scale questions received 0 points, those who answered it did not affect much at a light level received 1 points, those who answered it was not pleasant, but I was able to endure received 2 points, and those who answered on a serious level, I was very hard to endure received 3 points.

At least 3.00 and at most 15.00 points can be taken from the relaxation sub-dimension; at least 7.00 and at most 30.00 points can be taken from the overcoming sub-dimension. The lowest score from HDKO is 9, the highest score is 45. As the score gets closer to 45, the comfort level incre |
