摘要

穴位指壓在歐美已廣泛運用於臨床護理照顧中以緩解疼痛及健康之促進，在中外文獻的記載中有一些婦女健康穴位指壓之療效已被實務者記錄，但穴位指壓在婦女健康運用的科學研究卻仍在萌芽階段。在古代的中國醫學有應用穴位指壓施於三陰交、合谷及配穴方式解決婦女經痛、生理異常及婦科等問題。效果有效且病人的接受度也頗高，此種方式不具侵入性，護理人員可以自行操作，若能將此方法納入現有護理照護計劃中，不但能提昇婦女健康的自我照顧，而且更能發輝護理獨立性功能。

Acupressure has been widely used in clinical intervention in Europe and the United States to relieve pain and promote health. Although the effects of acupressure in women health have been well documented in western societies, its scientific application and evaluation is still in the preliminary stage. In ancient Chinese medicine, Zusanli, Hegu and Combination of acupoints were employed to relieve dysmenorrhea, physiological discomforts, and some gynecological problems. Acupressure has been widely accepted by patients and it could be operated safely by nurses. To enhance the women's quality of life, acupressure can be integrated into clinical practice and health education. It can also be used as a self-care method for women health.
