Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of acupressure applied to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) on pain and sleep quality.

Self-Acupressure; Sleep; Pain; Coronary Artery Patıent

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• 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

• 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"
