Patients who meet the study criteria will be distributed daily to experimental and control groups through a computerized randomization program.After randomization, in order to collect data, developed by the researcher in line with the relevant literature information; 'Patient Diagnostic Form', 'Braden Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale', 'Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool' and 'Wound Surface 3D Assessment System (Ekare/inSight®)' will be used for wound measurement.In the collection of the data of the patients in the experimental and control group, the patient will be accepted according to the criteria of inclusion and exclusion in the research. 'Patient Diagnostic Form', 'Health History', 'Patient Measurements (Life Findings and Laboratory Findings)' will be questioned and recorded in the experimental and control group patients. The total scores of the test group patients will be recorded by performing a risk assessment with the pressure wound, 'Braden Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale'. With the 'Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool', the physiological characteristics of the wound and the condition of the wound will be measured and recorded by performing wound staging. With ekare/inSight® device, wound staging will be performed by photographing the wound area, at the same time the healing status of the wound will be monitored and the reduction in wound volume, i.e. healing, will be observed. With ekare/inSight® device, the healing stages of the wound will be recorded. In the 'Braden Pressure Injury Risk Scale Assessment', the scores and total scores of the patients in the 'Braden Pressure Injury Risk Scale Assessment' will be recorded on the one day, the fourth day, the seventh day, the fourteenth day and twenty-first days by evaluating the substances 'emotional perception', 'humidity', 'activity', 'mobilization', 'nutrition', 'friction/tearing'. Pressure injury risk status and recovery status of the test and control group patients will be measured by Bates-Jensen scores and Braden scores and evaluated on the one day, fourth day, seventh day, fourteen days and twenty-first days. In addition, the date of the wound culture and wound culture results will be recorded as the wound healing time of the patients in the experimental and control group.

It is an important part of midwifery care in terms of its application areas and benefits. As it is an effective method, it is recommended to be used in the midwifery field in the literature, it is taught and applicable, does not require medical equipment, equipment and cost. There are no studies in the literature in which non-pharmacological methods of acupressure and massage are used in primary dysmenorrhea. It is among the duties, powers and responsibilities of midwives to comfort their patients with non-invasive interventional practice. Based on these, it is thought that the use of acupressure and massage in primary dysmenorrhea is necessary to examine the level of pain, menstrual symptoms and their effects on quality of life. The type of the study was planned as a randomized controlled pre-test-post-test study. The population of the study will be students who study at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Faculty of Education, have dysmenorrhea and meet the study criteria. In the power analysis used to determine the sample size, 5% error level and 90% power were determined as a minimum of 89 people for each group. The data of the study will be collected between December and May 2020 with the Personal Information Form in which socio-demographic characteristics are questioned, the Visual Analogue Scale for the assessment of dysmenorrhea pain, the Daily Menstrual Symptom Assessment Scale, and the Short Form of the Quality of Life Scale. (SF-12). Students who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly selected for the experimental and control groups.
Introduction: A poor therapeutic relationship, low insight and lack of motivation are associated with poor adjustment (to symptoms, treatment, and environment) in patients with schizophrenia.
