Summary
This study looks at whether using a stress ball during chemotherapy can lower anxiety, fear, and stabilize heart rate and blood pressure in people with gastrointestinal cancers. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned to either squeeze a stress ball for 15 minutes during chemo or receive usual care. Researchers will measure anxiety, fear, and vital signs before and after treatment to see if this simple, low-cost tool helps patients feel calmer.
