Abstract (Original Language): 
Akupressur vücuttaki enerjinin dolaşımı ve dengesi yoluyla, ağrı semptomları durumunda vücut yüzeyindeki farklı noktalar üzerine fiziksel basınç uygulanarak yapılan bir terapidir. Bu terapi akupunktura benzemektedir ve enerjinin iç akışını sağlamak için vücudun seçilmiş noktalarına parmaklar, el, avuç içi, el bileği ve diz ile basınç yapılarak gerçekleştirilir. Akupressur tekniği noninvasiv, güvenli ve etkilidir. Akupressurun hastalarda sırt, baş, osteoartrit, kas iskelet ve boyun ağrılarını, ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası ağrıyı, bulantı-kusmayı ve uyku rahatsızlığını hafiflettiği ileri sürülmektedir. Akupressur çok yönlü hemşirelik uygulamasında önemlidir. Bu nedenle, klinik ortamda uygulanan bu terapiler hakkında hemşirelere eğitim verilmesi gerekir. Hemşireler uygulamalarında noninvasiv, güvenli ve etkili bir tedavi modeli olarak akupressuru kullanabilmelidir.
