What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Self-AcupressureOther
Acupressure is a therapy method performed with an instrument or hand, fingertip, palm, elbow, knee, thumb relaxation and wrist bands on various points representing the waist organs in order to ensure the continuation and balance of the energy in our body
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Acupressure | Experimental | Self-Acupressure Each application to the acupressure points (HT 7, CV17,PC 6, LI4,SP 6) will be done in 2 minutes and right and left) Receives: Other: Self-Acupressure |
| Control group | No intervention | Routine maintenance will be applied |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The patients were asked to mark their level of pain during relaxation or activities on a 10 cm vertical or horizontal line.
In addition, there were forms which were numbered from 1-10 or from 1-100. The number 0 is found at the beginning of the line, and the number 10 is located at the end of the line. value of 0 shows that there is no pain, and the value 10 expresses unendurable pain. VAS is a common scale in the assessment of pain level. A patient is asked to mark the perceived pain on this line, and the marked point is measured in cm
Measured: 1. week

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
The PSQI is a valid and consistent survey comprising of 19 questions to assess quality and amount of sleep and the existence of a sleep disorder and its level in the previous month. The scale was adapted into the Turkish language by Agargün et al. (1996). The scale consists of seven components that assess patients subjective sleep quality, sleep delay, use of sleeping medication and disfunction in daily activities. Each item scores in the range 0-3 points and the total score of the seven components gives the total PSQI score. The total score has a value between 0-21 and a high total score demonstrates a poor quality of sleep. A total PSQI score which is ≤5 indicates "good sleep", and a score which is >5 indicates "poor sleep"
