Brief Summary

This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the pain level patients after angioography. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces pain levels and stabilizes hemodynamic variables.

Conditions

Acupressure; Pain; Hemodynamic Instability; Angiopathy, Peripheral

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain evaluated using the visual analog scale

  The total scale score is in the range of 0 cm (minimum) -10 cm (maximum). A score of 0 indicates no pain and a score of 10 indicates very severe pain.

  Change from before implementation and immediately after, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after implementation

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Systolic blood pressure

  Change from before implementation and immediately after, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after implementation

• Diastolic blood pressure

  Change from before implementation and immediately after, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after implementation

• Heart rate

  Change from before implementation and immediately after, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after implementation

• Respiratory rate

  Change from before implementation and immediately after, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after implementation

• Peripheral oxygen saturation

  Change from before implementation and immediately after, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after implementation

Study Arms (2)

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group will be given acupressure.

Other: Acupressure

Control

NO INTERVENTION

It will only take routine treatment and care.

Interventions

Acupressure OTHER

The experimental group will start with LI4 points and continue P6 and LI11 points. The application will be carried out by determining the priority order of the points with the draw. Attention will be paid to the intensity and duration of the pressure deemed appropriate. Since the individuals' responses will differ, the stiffness and pressure will be adjusted according to the individual's sensitivity not to cause tissue damage. Before starting the application, around the area to be pressed for 20-30 seconds will be gently rubbed with palm. With the gentle rubbing of the surrounding tissue, the tension and tissue sensitivity in warming, relaxing and preparatory will be reduced, and the tissue will be relieved. After, the point determined will be pressed manually for 2 minutes.
