This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) glasses and the use of a stress ball on anxiety, pain, and satisfaction levels in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: one group received both VR and stress ball interventions during the procedure, while the control group received standard care. Anxiety, pain, and satisfaction levels were assessed and compared across the three groups at the conclusion of the procedure. The study seeks to contribute to evidence on non-pharmacological methods to improve patient comfort during invasive cardiac procedures.
