After the purpose of the study and the method of application are explained to the intensive care patients, the "Introductory Information Form", "Glasgow Coma Scale", "Visual Assessment Scale", "Physiological Parameters Assessment Form", "Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale", "Nursing Presence Scale" and "Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Scale" will be applied. A total of 8 sessions of acupressure will be applied morning and evening for 2 days. The measurements will be repeated afterwards.

After the purpose of the study and the method of application are explained to the intensive care patients, the "Introductory Information Form", "Glasgow Coma Scale", "Visual Assessment Scale", "Physiological Parameters Assessment Form", "Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale", "Nursing Presence Scale" and "Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Scale" will be applied. A total of 8 sessions of pseudo acupressure will be applied morning and evening for 2 days. Only light pressure will be applied without massage 2 cm to the side of the real points. The procedure will be performed with gloves. The measurements will be repeated afterwards.

No application will be made to the control group.

The patient will be placed in a suitable position (supine) or alternatively in a side-lying position, and the patient's privacy will be taken into account to determine the pressure points. The patient's own finger measurement will be taken into account when determining the pressure points. Acupressure points will be marked using a surgical marking pen. The pressure will be applied manually. The thumb will be used for this. Before applying direct pressure to the point, a light rubbing movement will be made for approximately 15 seconds on the point area to reduce tension and tissue sensitivity, to warm, relax and prepare. Approximately 2 minutes of pressure will be applied to each point in a circular manner. Each application will last approximately 18 minutes. The patient will be measured 9 times in total during 4 sessions.

VAS is a measurement tool frequently used in the clinic for pain assessment. The ruler, which is indicated as 0-10 cm or 0-100 mm, has no pain (0) written on one end and the most severe pain (10) on the other end. It is scored between 0-10. The patient marks the point on the ruler where he feels the pain.

The scale consists of two sub-dimensions measuring continuous and state anxiety. There are 20 questions for each sub-dimension on a 4-point Likert scale (not at all = 1, a little = 2, a lot = 3, completely = 4). The minimum-maximum score range that can be obtained from the scale varies between 20-80. Increasing scores on the scale indicate an increase in the level of anxiety.

Systolic Blood Pressure (mm/Hg), Diastolic Blood Pressure (mm/Hg), Respiratory Rate, Heart Rate (Pulse) (beats/min) and Saturation parameters measured before and after acupressure of the intervention and placebo groups will be recorded. Systolic blood pressure measurements will be averaged. Diastolic blood pressure measurements will be averaged. Saturation measurements will be averaged. Respiratory rate measurements will be averaged. Heart Rate (Pulse) measurements will be averaged.

The scale designed as a 5-point Likert is scored as follows; (never: 1 point), (rarely: 2 points), (occasionally/sometimes: 3 points), (frequently: 4 points) and (always: 5 points). The minimum and maximum scores that can be obtained from the scale are calculated between 24-120. An increase in the score obtained from the scale means that the behaviors in which the patient presents the presence of the nurse have increased and that the patient perceives these behaviors positively.

The scale consists of 6 items in total. Each item on the scale is graded between 0 and 100 points. The result is found by dividing the total score obtained from the scale by the number of questions. A score between "0-25" indicates very poor sleep, and a score between "76-100" indicates very good sleep. The minimum score on the scale is calculated as 0, and the maximum score is calculated as 100. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in sleep quality.
