About this study

This research will be conducted to determine the effect of stress ball intervention during NST on anxiety and fetal well-being in high-risk pregnant women. Women with high-risk pregnancies randomly assigned to intervention (n=43) and control (n=43) groups at a state and a faculty hospital in Turkey will be included in the study. Pregnant women in the intervention group will be told to squeeze and release the ball once after counting to three, to inhale each time they press the ball, to exhale when they relax their grip and to focus only on the ball. Pregnant women will be instructed to continue this practice throughout the NST procedure (approximately 20 minutes). Pregnant women in the control group will not receive any intervention other than routine hospital care during the NST procedure. Data on anxiety and fetal well-being outcomes will be collected before and after NST.
