The Effect of Acupressure on Patients Receiving Brachytherapy

Acupressure application protocol will be started after patient information. This process is planned to take 30 minutes.Before the application, approximately 20 seconds of warming and rubbing without direct pressure on the acupressure points will be performed to reduce tissue sensitivity and prepare the points for acupressure. Subsequently, the researcher will apply pressure with the thumb on the predetermined acupressure points, considering the individual's pain threshold, with 10 seconds of pressure followed by two seconds of relaxation without lifting the finger, in consecutive presses following the rhythm of breathing. A digital clock (belonging to the researcher) will be used to determine the duration of the acupressure application.
