Stress ball practice group (Stress ball squeezing)

The stress ball is made of round, colorful, high-quality silicone. A stress ball of medium hardness and 6 cm in diameter (suitable for adult use) will be used in the research. When it is loosened, it returns to its original state. In the experimental group, the patients are required to squeeze the ball once after counting to three, inhale each time they squeeze the ball, exhale when they loosen their grip, and focus only on the ball. The experimental group has to squeeze the stress ball for 10-15 minutes every day for 4 weeks.
