Acute Coronary Syndrome and Acupressure
Sponsor: Abant Izzet Baysal University
Summary
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 with ACS has an effect on blood pressure. H1-2: Acupressure applied to individuals with ACS has an effect on heart rate. H1-3: Acupressure applied to individuals with ACS has an effect on respiratory rate. H1-4: Acupressure applied to individuals with ACS has an effect on pain levels. H1-5: Acupressure applied to individuals with ACS has an effect on anxiety levels. H1-6: Acupressure applied to individuals with ACS has an effect on cortisol levels. H1-7: Acupressure applied to individuals with ACS has an effect on ECG changes.

* First follow-up (first 0-30 minutes of admission): Participants received routine care and treatment within the first 0-30 minutes of admission, in accordance with hospital protocol. * Second follow-up (6 hours after the CAG procedure): After the coronary angiography procedure was completed (after the sandbag was removed), the first acupressure application was performed on individuals whose vital signs were within the normal range. * Third follow-up (12 hours after the CAG procedure): Approximately 12 hours after the coronary angiography procedure, the second acupressure application was performed on individuals. * Fourth follow-up (Cortisol measurement): The fourth follow-up was conducted at 8:00 a.m. (sunrise) to determine cortisol levels. Physiological parameters were evaluated, and a venous blood sample was taken to determine cortisol levels.
