| Research Abstract |
As a basic study for clinical application of acupressure (stimulating the pressure points) in nursing care and to apply that to the basic nursing education, we gave two types of nursing treatment and presure point stimulation to healthy adult women and meassured the effect on the body. We applied a hot wet compress to the rear neck of the subjects and provided stimulation to the pressure points called Gokoku and Tesanli. As a result, a rise in core body temperature and peripheral blood flow was observed. It was also observed that a rise in skin temperature and blood flow of the thigh lasted up to 30 minutes when we provided stimulation to a pressure point called Saninko, immediately after a foot bath.
