Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• questionnaire and scale

  McGill pain scale was developed by Melzack in 1987 and its validity and reliability in Turkish Yakut et al. (2007). In this study, the Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire (KF-MAA), whose validity and reliability was used and frequently used by Biçici (2010), was applied. This questionnaire consists of a total of 15 descriptive words to determine the sensory (11 words) and affective (4 words) dimensions of pain. In this section, the severity of pain (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) is evaluated and three pain scores (sensory, affective and total pain rate = sensory affective) are obtained. In addition, the pain felt at the time of measurement is measured with the Visuel Analog Scale (VAS) and the total pain intensity is measured with a 6-point Likert scale. On this scale, 0 = no pain, 1 = mild, 2 = disturbing, 3 = distressing, 4 = terrible, 5 = unbearable pain.

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
