Sponsor's own description

Fetal death accounts for approximately half of perinatal death. Fetal health should be evaluated in order to identify fetuses at risk of intrauterine death and to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. The Nonstress test, which is used to evaluate fetal health, is an important issue as it provides health professionals with information about fetal health. The research was planned as a randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of acupressure and halogen light stimulation on nonstress testing and anxiety of the pregnant woman. The research is planned to be conducted in the nonstress test room of the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic of Samsun Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Childhood Diseases Hospital between May 2021 and June 2023. The sample size of the study was calculated by power analysis (G\*Power 3.1.9.2 program was used) and a total of 120 pregnant women were found. In order to increase the analysis power of the research, the number of samples was increased by 20% and it was decided to have at least 144 pregnant women (acupressure group: 48; halogen light group: 48 and control group: 48) for the study. The data of the study will be collected with the Pregnant Identification Form, the Nonstress Test Follow-up Form and the State Anxiety Scale. The data of the study will be evaluated using the SPSS 24 deviation, median and minimum-maximum values will be given. Chi-square test, Student t test, ANOVA test for those with normal distribution, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests for those who are not.
