Brief Summary:
The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of acupressure on pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables in patients undergoing urodynamics. The study conducted by Azarkhavarani et al. (2024) to determine the effect of acupressure on pain in elderly female patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was used as a reference in the calculation of sample size. In the study, the effect size of the difference between pain intensity after acupressure (6.33 ± 0.54 in the experimental group and 7.36 ± 0.54 in the control group) was calculated as Cohen\'s d: 1,907. In order to reach a higher sample size, the minimum sample size was calculated as 34 in each group in the G\*Power (3.1) program with d=0.8, (1- α, bidirectional), 90% power, taking the large effect size limit of 0.8 as a reference. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Hemodynamic Variables Monitoring Form will be used to collect the research data. After the forms are applied to the patients and recorded, it will be determined whether they will be in the study or control group according to the randomization schedule. Acupressure will be applied to the patients in the study group by a certified researcher who has completed acupressure courses. The control group will receive routine care. After the acupressure application is completed, urodynamics will be performed. Pain, anxiety levels and hemodynamic variables will be re-evaluated immediately and 15 minutes after the procedure. The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program. Descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate the data. Parametric nonparametric tests will be used according to the suitability of the data used for normal distribution.

After the forms are applied to the patients and recorded, it will be determined whether they will be in the study or control group according to the randomization schedule. Acupressure will be applied to the patients in the study group by a certified researcher who has completed acupressure courses.The points to be used in acupressure will be Shen Men (HT7) located in the transverse wrist bend, in the small depression between the pisiform and ulna bones, (LI11) located at the end of the bend when the elbow is in the bent position, and Hegu (LI4) located in the space between the thumb and index finger will be marked by the certified researcher (GB) with an acetate pen in the patients in the study group. And the application will be performed by the certified researcher (GB). Patients in the control group will not receive any application and will receive routine care. After the acupressure application is completed, urodynamics will be performed. Pain, anxiety levels and hemodynamic variables will be re-evaluated immediately and 15 minutes after the procedure. The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program. Descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate the data.
