State-trait inventory, blood pressure, pulse rate, changes peripheral skin temperature assessed determine degree anxiety. Baseline frequency acceleration movement test reactive NST measure pattern. Results showed significantly lower scores state than group. There no significant differences systolic pressure between two groups. Frequency increased compared Conclusion Present results suggest that could be an effective nursing alel viating test.
