Anxiety and discomfort are physiological and psychological response, which can be noticed on the change in blood pressure status, pulse, respiration and body temperature. This research was conducted with the main objective to identify the effect of back rub on the level of patient’s anxiety and comfort before coronary angiography procedure. Design used in this research was an equivalent pretest-posttest with control group quasi experiment. Research was conducted using probability simple random sampling; with 30 respondents participated. A questionnaire was used for data collecting of anxiety level with 0–10 scale, digital sphygmomanometer was used for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate, and digital battery powered thermometer was used for measuring body temperature. The results showed differences after back-rub were found in anxiety, comfort, diastolic BP, pulse, respiration, and temperature (p= 0,002; 0,0001; 0,016; 0,0001; 0,005; 0,052). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that back-rub can be applied to reduce patient’s psychological stress (anxiety) and increase comfort before coronary angiography procedure.
