ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırma, Türkiye'de ağrıya yönelik akupresur uygulamalarını içeren lisansüstü hemşirelik tezlerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmada verilerin toplanması amacıyla öncelikle alanyazın taraması yapılmış, daha sonra Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi Veri Tabanı 'ağrı', 'akupres', 'akupresur', 'akupresör' anahtar kelimeleri ile taranmıştır. Tarama sonunda 2005-2019 yılları arasında Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü Hemşirelik Ana Bilim Dalında konu ile ilgili yapılmış 45 tez belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada, incelenen tezlerin araştırmaya alınma ölçütlerine uymayan 28 tez çalışmaya dâhil edilmemiştir. Bulgular: Veriler, 17 tezin çoğunluğunda kontrol ve deney grupları oluşturularak toplanmıştır. Tezlerden 8'inin yüksek lisans, 9'unun ise doktora düzeyinde yapıldığı görülmüştür. Akupresurun ağrıya etkisini inceleyen ilgili ilk tezin 2010 yılında yapıldığı, büyük çoğunluğunun (n=14) son beş yılda yapılmış olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmalar incelendiğinde; çalışmaların çoğunun (%35,2) doğum ağrısında akupresurun etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldığı görülmüştür. Türkiye'de akupresur ile ilgili araştırmaların çoğunluğunun hemşirelik çalışmaları olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmamızda incelenen yarı deneysel (n=2) ve deneysel (n=15) araştırma desenli tüm tezlerin sonuçlarına bakıldığında, akupresurun ağrıyı azaltmada etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Son yıllarda hemşirelik araştırmalarının önemli ilgi alanlarından biri olan akupresur, ağrıyı azaltmak amacıyla kullanılan nonfarmakolojik uygulamalar arasındadır. Araştırmada sonuç olarak, Türkiye'de akupresur uygulamasını konu alan tezlerin son yıllarda artış göstermekle birlikte sayıca yetersiz olduğu; konuya ilişkin akademik çalışmaların sayısının artmasının diğer araştırmalara ışık tutacağı düşünülmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Ağrı; akupresur; hemşirelik; nonfarmakolojik yöntem; tez
ABSTRACT
 Obljective: The aim of this study is to make an overview of postgraduate theses made in Turkey about acupressure practices for pain management. Material and Methods: Firstly a literature review was conducted for the purpose of data collection and then the National Council of Higher Education Dissertation Center Database was screened for the keywords 'pain', 'acupres' 'cupressure' As a result of this search, 45 nursing theses were found to be relevant from the Institute of Health Sciences Department of Nursing between 2005 and January 2019. In this study, 28 theses that do not meet the criteria for inclusion of the theses examine dare not included in the study. Results: Data were collected by creating experiment and control groups in the majority of the 17 theses. 8 theses were master' and 9 were PhD theses. The first nursing thesis that applied acupressure for pain was found to have been conducted in 2010. When the studies were examined; most of the studies (35.2%) were performed to evaluate the effect of acupressure on labor pain. When the results of the thesis examined in our study with semi- experimental (n=2) and experimental (n=15) research design, it is seen that acupressure is effective in reducing pain. Conclusion: In recent years, acupressure, which is one of the important areas of interest in nursing research, is one of the nonpharmacological applications used to reduce pain. As a result, it is argued that the number of the theses about acupressure in Turkey seems to be low in number, despite of the increase in recent years and it is important to conduct more and academic studies as with the subject.
