Brief Summary

This research aims to determine the effects of reiki and acupressure applied after percutaneous coronary intervention on pain, anxiety and vital signs during femoral catheter extraction.

Conditions

Coronary Artery Disease

Keywords

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention; Acupressure; Reiki; Pain; Anxiety; Vital Signs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pain evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale

  The scale consists of a 10 cm ruler on which there is no pain on one end and excruciating pain on the other, on which the patient marks the pain. The distance between the point where the patient marked the pain and the pain-free interval is measured in cm and recorded.

  30 minutes

• Anxiety evaluated using the State Anxiety Inventory

  The scale consists of 20 statements. The total score can range from 20 to 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.

  30 minutes

Study Arms (3)

Acupressure group

EXPERIMENTAL

A total of 18 minutes of compression will be applied to each point for three minutes, as the Heart Meridian is at the 7th point (HT7), the Large Intestine Meridian is at the 4th point (LI4) and the pericardial meridian is at the 6th point (PC6).

Other: Acupressure

Reiki group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the reiki group the crown chakra (top of the head), the forehead chakra (above the forehead), the throat chakra (above the throat), the heart chakra (the middle of the chest), the solar plexus (under the chest, above the navel), the sacral chakra (below the navel) and the root chakra (above the coccyx) will be applied to the region of the 7 chakra points on.In the reiki group, the reiki application time will take 21 minutes on average.

Other: Reiki

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

Acupressure OTHER

In the acupressure group, heart meridian 7th point (HT7), large intestine meridian 4th point, and pericardial meridian 6th point (PC6) will be applied. Tissue sensitivity will be reduced by heating and rubbing for about 20 seconds without direct pressure on the acupressure points, and the points will be ready for acupressure application. Subsequently, consecutive (breathing rhythm) compressions will be applied to the acupressure points determined by the researcher, without raising the finger, taking into account the pain threshold of the individual who is applied with the thumb, with 10 seconds of pressure for two seconds of relief Since the symmetry of the selected three different points will also be applied to the other extremity, a total of 18 minutes of compression will be applied to each point, provided that it is three minutes.

Acupressure group

Reiki OTHER

In the reiki group, the crown chakra (top of the head), the forehead chakra (above the forehead), the throat chakra (above the throat), the heart chakra (the middle of the chest), the solar plexus (under the chest, above the navel), the sacral chakra (below the navel) and the root chakra (above the coccyx) will be applied to the region of the 7 chakra points on.In the reiki group, the reiki application time will take 21 minutes on average.
