简要总结
This study was conducted to determine the effects of acupressure applied during episiotomy repair on pain and anxiety levels of the primiparous.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 126 pregnant women (63 women in the acupressure group and 63 women in the control) who applied to a maternity hospital between June and December 2023. Acupressure was applied to the acupressure group twice (during internal suturing and skin suturing) by the researcher during the episiotomy repair. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used a total of four times, before and after the intervention, to assess the pain scores of the participants, while the Spielberger Manual for State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used after the second intervention to determine the anxiety levels of the participants.

结局指标
主要结局
VAS
时间窗: Change inbreastfeeding self-efficacy levels at 6 weeks change in pain after acupressure
The VAS was used to assess the pain severity of the incision site. The VAS is a scale created in the range of 0-100 mm. According to the scale, a score of 0 mm indicates that the pain is not severe at all, and a score of 100 mm indicates that the pain is extremely severe
次要结局
- STAI(Change inbreastfeeding self-efficacy levels at 6 weeks change in anxiety after acupressure)
