Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of auricular acupressure on the stress reaction of conscious patients during emergency rescue in the intensive care unit(ICU).Methods Fifty conscious patients admitted to ICU were randomly divided into experiment group and control group,25 cases in each group.The two groups received conventional interventions,all separated by curtains during the rescue for psychological nursing by full-time nurses.Besides,the experiment group received auricular acupressure. The two groups were compared in terms of heart rates,systolic blood pressure,blood glucose,plasma catecholamines(epinephrine and norepinephrine)and cortisol index.Results All the items of stress reaction at minutes 30 and 60 in the experiment group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The rescue times of 30min,1H in experiment group,the stress index of experiment group at 30 mins and 60 mins were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(all P<0?05)Conclusions Auricular acupressure is of good effects on physiological stress reaction in conscious patients during emergency rescue in ICU?
