IRCT20240425061565N1 IRCT 2024-06-03 Gonabad University of Medical Sciences Investigating the effect of acupressure on anxiety and sleep quality Effect of acupressure at Yin-Tang point on the anxiety and sleep quality of pre-hospital emergency workers 2024-05-21 anticipated 46 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/76474 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Sampling will be done in an accessible manner and based on the entry criteria, and then they will be randomly assigned to sham and intervention groups by using four permutation blocks (AABB, ABAB, ABBA, BABA, BAAB, BBAA) by throwing a dice. . In this way, we give codes 1 to 6 to each of the quaternary permutation blocks to match the numbers in the dice. Code 1 to the AABB permutation block, code 2 to the ABAB block, code 3 to the ABBA block, and BABA block Code 4, BBAA block code 5 and BAAB block code 6. Then, due to the fact that the required sample size for this research is 46 people, we have to roll the dice 12 times (4*12=48) so that at least 46 samples are included in the research, and after matching the number of the dice with the code belonging to the permutation blocks in the order of the sample In this method, the letters A mean the samples that are placed in the intervention group, and the letters B mean the samples that are placed in the sham group, Blinding description: They will be placed in sham and intervention groups randomly by using four permutation blocks (AABB, ABAB, ABBA, BABA, BAAB, BBAA) by throwing a dice. In each group, demographic information questionnaire, Spielberger anxiety index and Petersburg sleep quality index will be completed by the research units. Then, in the intervention group, pressing the Yin Tang point (between the two eyebrows in line with the nasal septum) for two minutes and only once a day (from 8 am to 11 am) and three times a week for four weeks by The researcher will do (5). The researcher pressed his thumb to a depth of 1.5 to 1.5 cm for 5 seconds and then rested for 2 seconds and continued this action for 2 minutes, but in the sham group, 2 cm above the hairline with Using the thumb will press to a depth of 1 to 1.5 cm, similar to the intervention group.

For two minutes and only once a day (from 8 am to 11 am) and as It will be done three times a week for four weeks by the researcher.
