Conditions studied: Anxiety, Arthroplasty Complications
In brief
This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the effect of game activity and stress ball use on preoperative anxiety and vital signs in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of these methods (game activity, stress ball use) on patients' anxiety and vital signs. The research involves three groups: one group will engage in a game activity, another group will use a stress ball, and the control group will receive no intervention. Patients over 18 years of age who pass the Mini-Cog test, demonstrate cognitive competence and meet other sampling criteria will be included in the study. Data will be collected using the State Anxiety Scale, a vital signs and pain level form, and a descriptive characteristics form.
