摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect on sleep quality of auricular acupressure. Subjects were college-level nursing students and a pretest-and-posttest experimental design was used. Subjects, all of whom scored better than 5 on the Quality Index of Pittsburgh Sleeping (PSQI), were recruited from a nursing technological university and assigned at random into experimental and control groups. Experimental group subjects (n=25) received seed implants, which pressed on four auricular points, shenmen, xin, pizhixia and shen. Control group subjects (n=26) received no intervention. Result showed that the experimental group experienced better sleep quality than the control group (t=3.95, p＜.001). This study demonstrated the potential to improve sleep quality in nursing students.
