Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to examine the effect of acupressure on physiological parameters and anxiety levels in individuals diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).

H1-1: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on the level of anxiety.

H1-2: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on blood pressure.

H1-3: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on heart rate.

H1-4: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on respiratory rate.

H1-5: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on the pain level.

H1-6: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on cortisol levels.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) affects millions of people every year; It refers to three types of coronary artery disease: unstable angina pectoris, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTE MI) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is known that 19 million people in the world and 161 thousand people in our country lost their lives due to Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Approximately 3 million people worldwide die due to STEMI.Individuals experiencing ACS generally; It is observed that he/she experiences burning, stinging and compressive chest pain, tachycardia, sweating, fatigue, dizziness, dyspnea, nausea, anxiety and depression.Management of the disease is combined with pharmacological applications; It is tried to be provided with non-pharmacological applications such as education, acupuncture and acupressure. When the literature is examined, acupressure application; in the physiological parameters of individuals with myocardial infarction; It brings blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate to normal limits, and increases oxygen saturation and sleep quality; It appears to reduce anxiety and pain.For all these reasons, this study aims to examine the effect of acupressure on physiological parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, pain and cortisol) and anxiety levels in individuals diagnosed with ACS.

Since block randomization will be used in the study, the research director and the individuals who meet the study inclusion criteria will not know which group they will be in during the preliminary evaluation process of the study. However, the person analyzing the data will not know which group the data belongs to.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

acupressure

acupressure application and Routine care and treatment (filling out the initial hospitalization documents, measuring vital signs, taking an ECG, preparing for the CAG procedure, administering the ordered medications).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

acupressure

Intervention Type OTHER

After the CAG procedure, acupressure will be applied to individuals whose vital signs are within the normal range.

control
