Summary
This study looked at two simple ways to help adults feel less pain and anxiety during a blood draw: doing breathing exercises or squeezing a stress ball. 90 people took part, split into three groups: one did breathing exercises, one used a stress ball, and one had no special technique. The goal was to see if these distraction methods really help make the experience more comfortable.
