Methods: The study design was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronizedposttest design. Forty patients were assigned into two groups of 20 patients, the wrist band group and the control group.In the wristband group, acupressure was applied with a wrist band on the P6 point at both wrists from 30 min before to 24hr after anesthesia.
Results:The 1st hypothesis ‘Applied wrist band groups will have a greater reduction in the nausea &vomiting grades by INVR than the control group’ was accepted (t=2.303, p=.028). The 2nd hypothesis ‘The Applied wrist band groups will have a greater reduction in the occurrence of nausea & vomiting than the control group’ was partlyaccepted. The 3rd hypothesis ‘The applied wrist band group will have a greater reduction in injection of antiemetics for 24hr. post anesthesia than the control group’ was rejected.
