The Effect of Acupressure on Fatigue

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of acupressure on fatigue in nursing students.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, 68 nursing students were randomly assigned to the acupressure and placebo (sham) acupressure groups. In the acupressure group (n=34), compression was applied to the 7th point of the heart meridian (HT7), the 4th point of the large intestine meridian (LI4), the 36th point of the stomach meridian (ST36), and the 6th point of the spleen meridian (SP6). Depending on the preparation and compression time at each point, the session duration of each student lasted an average of 20 minutes. In the sham group (n=34), pressure was applied approximately 1-1.5 cm away from the HT7, LI4, ST36, SP6 points. In the sham group, the acupressure application time lasted for an average of 20 minutes. At the end of the application, after the data collection process was completed, the sham group was taught the correct acupuncture points. Students applied acupressure three times a week for a total of 12 sessions for four weeks. Data were collected before and four weeks after the application in the acupressure and sham acupressure groups. ;
