Brief Summary:
Acupressure, which is a type of nonpharmacological practice. Acupressure is a practice that provides energy flow by applying pressure to the special points of the meridians that innately carry energy in the body with stimulation bands, hands, and fingers. Acupressure is also known as acupuncture without needles. Because no needles are used in acupressure, acupressure is an easy, safe, effective, and economical method to learn and apply. There is no study to determine the effect of acupressure on acute pain, patient satisfaction and stress, which is applied to adult patients during the venipuncture procedure. In this context, the study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of acupressure on acute pain, stress level and satisfaction during venpuncture in adult patients.Patient Evaluation Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Visual Patient Satisfaction Scale and State Anxiety Inventory will be used in the study. The scales will be used before and after venpuncture. Acupressure will be applied to the adults in the acupressure group for 10 min before the venipuncture procedure. Pain, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels of the adults in the acupressure and control groups will be evaluated both before and after the venipuncture procedure.
Detailed Description:
Patients will be assigned to acupressure and control groups according to the randomization list prepared earlier by the investigators.
First of all, all patients will be informed about the procedure and their informed consent will be obtained. Patients in the acupuncture and control groups will be evaluated with the patient evaluation form, VAS and State Anxiety Inventory 15 minutes before venipuncture. Demographic information of each patient will be recorded by the investigator. The pain level, satisfaction level and anxiety levels of the patients will be recorded before the venipuncture procedure. The following applications will be made 10 minutes before the patients in the acupressure group. Hands are washed before applying acupressure. Before applying acupressure, the patient is allowed to sit in a comfortable position on the sofa in the single venipuncture room. Before starting the acupressure application, the arm is rubbed from fingertips to the elbow to relax, and press the acupressure points (Large Intestine Meridian 4th Point \[LI 4\], Large Intestine Meridian 11th Point \[LI 11\], and Heart Meridian 7th Point \[HT 7\]). application is carried out. 2 minutes to each acupressure point. pressure (3 to 5 kg of pressure) is applied. Only one acupressure session is performed for each patient, and each acupressure session will last 10 minutes (WHO, 2008). Acupressure application is applied before venipuncture. Venipuncturen is performed immediately after the acupressure session. While performing the acupuncture procedure and venipuncture, other patients participating in the study will not see each other during the application phase. Venipuncture will be applied to all patients by the same nurse in the same room. Venipuncture will be performed on the left arm of all patients with a vacuum tube using a 0.8 \* 38 mm (21G x 1½, green) needle tip. Immediately after the venipuncture, the pain and satisfaction assessment of the patients during the procedure will be made with the VAS (Pain and Satisfaction) and State Anxiety Inventory. The pain level, satisfaction level and anxiety levels of the patients will be recorded before the venipuncture procedure. All of the measurement results were obtained by another researcher blinded to group allocation. All procedures will take approximately 20-25 minutes for each participant.
