- Registration Number
- NCT05325307
- Lead Sponsor
- Mersin University
- Brief Summary
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the anxiety level patients undergoing cystectomy surgery. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces anxiety levels and stabilizes hemodynamic parameters.
- Detailed Description
In the study, 60 patients will randomly assigned to acupressure and placebo acupressure groups. To the acupressure group (n = 30), an average of 15 minutes will be applied to the HT7 (heart), LI4 (liver) and EX-NH3 (the point between the two eyes). In the placebo acupressure group (n = 30), the points 1.5 cm away from the HT7, LI4, and EX-NH3 points will be applied for an average of 15 minutes.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Anxiety evaluated using the State Anxiety Scale Change from before implementation and immediately after, 20th minute after acupressure Scores ranging from 20 to 80 points are obtained in the scale. In the total score obtained from the scale in scoring the scale, 0-19 points indicate the absence of anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild anxiety, 40-59 points indicate moderate anxiety, and 60-79 points indicate severe anxiety level. Higher state anxiety scores indicate that anxiety level is also high
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Respiratory rate Change from before implementation and immediately after, 20th minute after acupressure Lung breathing
Systolic blood pressure Change from before implementation and immediately after, 20th minute after acupressure Systolic blood pressure (SBP), mmHg
Diastolic blood pressure Change from before implementation and immediately after, 20th minute after acupressure Diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mmHg
Heart rate Change from before implementation and immediately after, 20th minute after acupressure Beats per minute
Peripheral oxygen saturation Change from before implementation and immediately after, 20th minute after acupressure %, percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in peripheral arterial blood
