      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: After statistical analysis of the severity of fatigue, job anxiety and sleep quality of personnel in educational and non-teaching hospitals will be determined. Then, based on the number of qualified staff and activity volume similarities, the hospitals are categorized into two categories of high and medium activity, and finally randomly blocked, medium to high activity hospitals, into three groups ( Acupuncture is divided into acupressure, deep breathing. Then, the acupuncture group, the deep breathing group, and the control group in each of the hospitals were randomly selected using a random execution table.</study_design>
      <phase>N/A</phase>
      <hc_freetext>Condition 1: Anxiety. Condition 2: Fatigue. Condition 3: Poor sleep quality.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First intervention group: In acupuncture group, for people with mild to severe anxiety and moderate to severe fatigue, apply pressure points on Liver3, Du20, Kidney3, Gallbladder20, Ying Tang (extra), Sanjiao 5, and for people with mild to severe anxiety and sleep quality. This pressure is bad at points Du20, Du24, Gallbladder 20, Sanjiao5, Ren17 and for people with moderate to severe fatigue and poor sleep quality, pressure will be at Kidney3, Stomach36, Spleen6, Liver3, DU20, DU24, Gallbladder 20 points. For those with all three problems of mild to moderate anxiety, moderate to severe fatigue, and poor sleep quality, Liver3, Kidney3, Bladder60, Stomach36, DU20, DU24, Gallbladder20, Ren17 points are prescribed to apply pressure. People are instructed to perform the techniques two to three times a day and massage each one of these points for 1-2 minutes each with a pressure massage. In addition, people in the acupuncture group are reminded that the accuracy of the points is confirmed when the client feels a little happy and the massage should never be painful and that the pressure is to the extent that they can tolerate. Intervention 2: The second intervention group: Intervention group 2: For those in the deep breathing group, the first will be explained about breathing skills, deep breathing and its effects on physical and mental health, then abdominal breathing exercises (27) and full breathing (three-part breathing) with the help of film Training manuals and booklets are taught and exercises are conducted with the help of researcher guidance to verify the accuracy and correctness of the exercises. Abdominal breathing is taught to place the left hand on the chest and the right hand on the abdomen. Have a slow, deep tail through the nose. As the muscles expand gently up and down, then exhale slowly through the nose while releasing the abdominal muscles toward the ground.

Intervention 3: Control group: In acupuncture touch group for people with mild to severe anxiety and moderate to severe fatigue touch on Liver3, Du20, Kidney3, Gallbladder20, Ying Tang (extra), Sanjiao 5 points and for people with mild to severe anxiety and sleep quality Bad touch at Du20, Du24, Gallbladder 20, Sanjiao5, Ren17 points and for people with moderate to severe fatigue and poor sleep quality, touch at Kidney3, Stomach36, Spleen6, Liver3, DU20, DU24, Gallbladder 20 points. People who have mild to moderate anxiety, moderate to severe fatigue, and poor sleep quality are prescribed Liver3, Kidney3, Bladder60, Stomach36, DU20, DU24, Gallbladder20, Ren17 points for acupuncture points.
