acupressure

Data collection took about 10 to 15 minutes. Then the woman invited to the examination room was asked to pull one of the envelopes with the names of the groups. The women who pulled the acupressure envelope were given a semi-sitting position where the acupressure application can feel comfortable and the researcher can easily apply the acupressure points. Before the acupressure application, massage was applied for 30 seconds to ensure circulation. Afterwards, 90 seconds consecutive pressures were applied to the specified acupressure points in a certain order (SP 6, Li 4), taking into account the direction of the meridian. After the examination, the pain formed during the gynecological examination was evaluated by applying the Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire without leaving the examination room
