Summary

Aim: To examine the effect of acupressure application on physiological parameters, anxiety and sleep quality in patients with acute stroke.

Method: Randomized controlled trial will be carried out in the stroke patients in Turkey. The research will include two groups, an intervention (n=32) and a placebo (n=32).

Since the critical period in the care of the patient who had an acute stroke is the first 72 hours;

* An application and evaluation will be made every 12 hours after the first application. In other words, a person will be given 2 applications a day with an interval of 12 hours and a total of 6 applications within 72 hours.
* Depending on the number of points selected and the duration of the print on each point; the session duration of an individual will be approximately 25 minutes.
* Physiological measurements will be made before and after the acupressure application. Physiological measurements 10-15 min. From acupressure application. will be taken before and the same measurements after acupressure 20-30. Will be taken again in the min interval.
* Application to acupressure points in a certain order; Baihui (GV20), Susanli (ST36), Hegu (LI4), Shenmen (HT 7) and Quchi (LI11) will be held.

The application steps of the placebo group will be the same as the acupressure application steps. Unlike acupressure, it will be waited for 2 minutes only in contact with the thumb, without any pressure or scrub on the bone protrusions, away from the real acupressure points, where the meridian does not pass and there are no active points. To reduce the electrical effect of the touch, gloves will be worn only in contact.

acupressure

The person will be given 2 applications a day at 12-hour intervals and 6 applications in 72 hours in total. The session duration of an individual will be approximately 25 minutes. Physiological measurements will be made before and after the acupressure application. Physiological measurements 10-15 min. From acupressure application. will be taken before and the same measurements after acupressure 20-30. Will be taken again in the min interval. In addition, the Continuous Anxiety Scale will be applied once before application, the State Anxiety Scale will be applied once before the application and 3 times in total after the application at the end of every 24 hours. Sleep Scale will be applied 3 times in total before the next day after application.

OTHER

Placebo

Unlike acupressure, it will only be in contact with gloves, to reduce the electrical effect of touch, away from the actual acupressure points.
