Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Visual Analogy Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Patients in the intervention group performed PRE for 20 minutes before femoral sheath removal. The patients in the control group received the standard practice of the clinic.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain level | One minute after femoral sheath removal | Patients' pain is evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) .The VAS is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically. Patients were told that 0 on the scale means no pain and 10 means unbearable pain at the highest level. The patient was asked to mark the point on this scale indicating the level of pain they felt. |
| Anxiety level | One minute after femoral sheath removal | Patients' anxiety is evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically. patients were told that 0 on the scale means no anxiety and 10 means unbearable anxiety at the highest level. The patient was asked to mark the point on this scale indicating the level of anxiety they felt. |
| Patient satisfaction | One minute after sheath removal | Patients' anxiety is evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically. It was explained to the patient that the number 0 indicated no satisfaction with the application and the number 10 indicated the highest level of satisfaction and the patient was asked to mark on the ruler. |
