Clinical Trial Summary

This research was conducted to determine the effect of acupressure applied to patients after bariatric surgery on gastrointestinal distress, pain and anxiety. The data of the study was collected at Aktif Private Kocaeli Hospital General Surgery Clinic between January 2022 and February 2023. The study was conducted with 90 (30 control, 30 intervention and 30 placebo) patients who underwent bariatric surgery. As a result of the research, application to ST25 and CV12 acupressure areas after bariatric surgery increased gas and stool output. It reduced abdominal distension. This enabled patients to start oral intake early. Application to the SP6 area reduced abdominal pain. Acupressure applied to the LI4 area was not effective in reducing nausea and vomiting. Massage to the HT7 acupressure area alone was not sufficient to relieve anxiety.

The study was conducted with 90 (30 control, 30 intervention and 30 placebo) patients who underwent bariatric surgery. The data were brought together with the patient identification formula, postoperative gastrointestinal functions information formula, abdominal distension formula, visual analog scale, state-trait anxiety inventory scale, visual comparison operation, and patient happiness formula. The data were analyzed with the SPSS for Windows 22 package program. Records of numbers, percentages, minimum and maximum values, averages and standard deviations in the analysis of data. Mann Whitney U analysis, LSD, Dunnet C, Kruskall Wallis, Will coxon analyzes and t test records. The results were interpreted at the p< 0.05 significance level. Gastrointestinal capacity and recovery time, stool and gas output rates, difference in distension and abdominal pain score amounts, oral intake amounts and retching difference of the patients in acupressure, control and placebo distribution at the 6th, 12th, 24th and 48th months of the surgery were investigated.
