Masking description
Patients will be divided into experimental and control groups. Patients will know that they are participating in the study and the interventions that will be applied to them, but they will be blinded by not knowing which group they are in. The study data will be collected by a second researcher who is blinded to the groups. In the statistical analysis of the data, the groups will be labeled as group 1 and group 2, and the third researcher will be blinded when evaluating the results. Thus, the third researcher will be blinded to the study groups. In order to avoid bias in the evaluation of the results, the first researcher who is not blinded will not participate in any stage of the evaluation process.
Intervention model description
This study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial planned to investigate the effects of hand massage applied with two different methods on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
