Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to assess the impact of nonpharmacological nursing interventions on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). DESIGN This is a systematic review. METHODS MEDLINE, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Tübitak-ULAKBİM, and TRDizin databases were searched for the following search terms, including "Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting," "Nurse," "Nursing," and "Nonpharmacological Interventions" to identify nonpharmacological nursing interventions for PONV. A systematic review of English and Turkish articles published in the period between January 1, 2012 and June 1, 2023 was conducted. The PICOT-SD method was used to determine the compatibility of the pieces with the eligibility criteria. FINDINGS Fifty-eight of 3,874 articles obtained from databases fulfilled the eligibility criteria. This study demonstrated that acupuncture, aromatherapy, the oral intake of ginger, listening to music, education, and visits to patients decreased the incidence of nausea and vomiting and increased the quality of life. Additionally, it was found that patients' quality of life tended to improve along with reductions in postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study support previous findings in the literature and demonstrate that nonpharmacological nursing interventions help reduce and prevent PONV. Based on our results, we suggest that nonpharmacological nursing interventions can be employed for the management of PONV in patients undergoing surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis aims to explore the impact of acupressure on nausea and vomiting for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). BACKGROUND Acupressure may have some potential in managing nausea and vomiting after LC. PATIENTS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases were systematically searched, and we included randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of acupressure on nausea and vomiting for LC. RESULTS Six randomized controlled trials were finally included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with control intervention for LC, acupressure was associated with significantly reduced incidence of nausea at 2 hours [odds ratio (OR) = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.21-0.67; P = 0.001] and nausea at 6 hours (OR = 0.38; 95% CI = 0.22-0.66; P = 0.0006; Fig. 4), and decreased need of rescue antiemetic (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.20-0.85; P = 0.02; Fig. 8), but demonstrated no obvious impact on vomiting at 2 hours (OR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.28-2.10; P = 0.60), vomiting at 6 hours (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.20-1.20; P = 0.12), nausea at 24 hours (OR = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.37-1.35; P = 0.30), or vomiting at 24 hours (OR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.28-2.35; P = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS Acupressure is effective in controlling nausea and decreasing rescue antiemetics for LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nausea, vomiting, pain and insomnia in the postoperative period may cause discomfort, and this may adversely affect the patient's compliance with the treatment. This study was conducted to determine the effect of acupressure on nausea, vomiting, pain, and sleep quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS This was a randomized controlled experimental study with a placebo group. The sample comprised 188 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (control:64;experimental:64;and placebo:60). Acupressure was performed on the experimental and placebo groups with a wristband for 24 hours. The data were collected at the 0th, 2nd, 6th, 12th, and 24th postoperative hours. Data were collected using the patient introduction form, numeric nausea scale, visual analog scale(VAS), verbal category scale(VCS), and Richards-campbell sleep questionnaire(RCSQ). RESULT The difference between the mean scores of nausea severity and the presence of nausea at the postoperative 0-2, 2-6, and 12-24 hours was statistically significant between the groups and the presence and the severity of nausea was lower in the experimental group (p<0.05). Although not statistically significant, less vomiting was observed in the experimental group patients compared to the control group patients at postoperative 0-2, 2-6, and 12-24 hours. There was no significant difference between the mean VAS and VCS scores of the groups at postoperative 2nd, 6th, and 24th hours (p >0.05). The mean RCSQ total scores of the patients in the experimental group were significantly higher (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Acupressure applied to the PC6 point after laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting and positively affected sleep quality.

Abstract
Background Nausea and vomiting are two common symptoms in myocardial infarction patients. This study aims to determine the impact of p6 acupressure on nausea, vomiting, comfort, and the need for anti-vomiting drugs in myocardial infarction (MI) patients. Methods This research involved 90 patients with acute heart attacks experiencing persistent nausea despite taking anti-vomiting drugs. They were divided into three groups: acupressure, placebo, and control. The acupressure group wore a wristband with a button, the placebo group had a similar wristband without a button, and the control group received no wristband. Data on nausea severity, comfort, frequency of nausea, vomiting, and retching was collected before and after the intervention at different time points. The study also assessed the use of anti-vomiting drugs within 24 h of the intervention. Results The patients in the acupressure group, compared to those in the placebo and control groups, experienced significantly lower severity of nausea, frequency of vomiting, nausea, and retching and a substantially higher level of comfort level during the two, four, and 6 h after the start of the intervention (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference between the placebo and control groups was observed (P > 0.05). During the 24 h after the start of the intervention, administration of anti-vomiting drugs to the acupressure group was significantly less than that done in the placebo and control groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions The results illustrated that p6 acupressure reduces nausea, vomiting, and retching and increases the comfort level in myocardial infarction patients.

Abstract
Introduction Anti-emetic interventions include pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies. Acupressure is a non-pharmacologic and non-invasive therapeutic method that involves applying physical pressure to acupuncture points with fingers or devices. The pericardium (PC6) acupoint is located on the palm side of the wrist between the palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis tendons, three fingers across the wrist starting at the wrist crease. Our first aim was to assess the effect of PC6 point acupressure on PONV after gynecological surgeries compared to intravenous (IV) ondansetron. Secondly, we aimed to assess the factors associated with the first and second hours (early) postoperative nausea scores. Methods This was a prospective, randomized, and single-centered intervention study conducted between November 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, in a tertiary care hospital. Sancaktepe Martyr Prof. Dr. Ilhan Varank Education and Research Hospital Ethical Committee provided ethical approval for this study on October 14, 2022 (No: E-46059653-020). Randomization was done using the lottery method. Patients, who were over the age of 18 with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical score of I, II, or III status and had undergone gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia, were included. Patients, who were ASA IV, under continuous use of opioids or corticoids, underwent surgery with regional anesthesia, or declined to participate in the study, were excluded. There were two comparisons in this study. First, we divided patients into two groups according to anti-emetic prevention. Patients, who received IV 4 mg ondansetron (Group O), and patients, who placed acupressure bands at the P6 points on both forearms (Group B). The second comparison was done to assess the factors associated with early postoperative nausea. Patients were divided into two groups according to the mean early postoperative nausea scores as low (< 4, Group 1) and high/moderate (≥ 4, Group 2). PONV and pain scores were collected at five-time points: the first, second, sixth, twelfth, and twenty-fourth hours after surgery. Results Of 102 patients, 50 were in Group O and 52 were in Group B. There was no significant difference in postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting scores. Fifty patients (50%), including 24 patients (48%) in Group O and 26 patients (52%) in Group B, experienced early moderate/high postoperative nausea in our study. According to the second comparison, 52 patients were in Group 1, and 50 patients were in Group 2. Operation time; first and second-hour pain scores; first, second, sixth, twelfth, and twenty-fourth-hour scores; and first and second-hour vomiting scores were all significantly different across groups. Conclusion The effect of PC6 point acupressure on early PONV compared to IV ondansetron was similar after gynecological surgeries. However, using only one anti-emetic treatment did not adequately relieve early PONV. Of all patients, 11 (10%) required an extra anti-emetic medication at the ward. 50% of patients experienced early moderate/high postoperative nausea in our study. Motion sickness history, operation time, and early postoperative pain scores were associated with early PONV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common complications after general anesthesia. The traditional comprehensive management of PONV usually uses one or two drugs, but this regimen fails to meet the requirements of the latest version of PONV guidelines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on high-risk PONV patients who are undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery. METHODS In total, 162 high-risk PONV patients were randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 81) and a control group (n = 81). Both groups were injected with 4 mg of dexamethasone and 0.25 mg of palonosetron. In the experimental group, Nei-guan (PC6) and He-gu (LI4) were stimulated by a transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation instrument (HANS200E) 30 min before the surgery. The control group also received electrodes but no stimulation. Variance analysis and rank sum test were used to compare the differences between the two groups. RESULTS The results of the incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting, NRS score, degree of abdominal distension, and time to first flatus in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group. Nursing satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSIONS The study demonstrates that TEAS combined with dexamethasone and palonosetron can effectively prevent PONV, reduce postoperative abdominal distension and postoperative pain, and shorten the first postoperative flatus time in high-risk patients with PONV. At the same time, it can improve nursing satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the factors predictive of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. METHODS In total, 172 patients completed the study. "The Questionnaire Form," "Visual Analog Scale," "Nausea Scale," and "Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire" created by the researchers were used for data collection. FINDINGS At the second postoperative hour, 55.8% of the patients had nausea, 20.3% had vomiting and 75% had severe pain. The severity of nausea, vomiting, and pain decreased with time. Age, gender, smoking, motion sickness, postoperative pain, opioid use, preoperative fasting time, time of first postoperative fluid intake and preoperative anxiety score were found to be among the factors predictive of PONV (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS High rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded. The factors predictive of PONV can be evaluated in the preoperative period, and PONV can be controlled with early interventions and treatment of patients in the risk group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Laparoscopic surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in general surgery, with fewer side effects and rapid recovery. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains the main challenge that confronts the prognosis of this minimally invasive surgery. We aimed to evaluate the effect of acupressure, a nonpharmacological non-invasive method, on the incidence of nausea and vomiting following laparoscopic surgery within the early phase (first six hours postoperatively) and the extended phase (for at least 24 h postoperatively). METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochran, Scopus, Web of Science, Google scholar, and Wiley for randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effect of acupressure on PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopy. Data were extracted and analyzed in a random model, and pooled risk ratios (RRs) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS Eleven trials were included in the meta-analysis, comprising 941 patients. Most of the included patients were females undergoing gynecological laparoscopy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Acupressure significantly lowered the incidence of nausea and vomiting, within the early phase (RR = 0.62, 95% CI [0.44 to 0.88]; p = 0.008), (RR = 0.5, 95% CI [0.30 to 0.84]; p = 0.008), and the extended phase (RR = 0.65, 95% CI [0.52 to 0.83]; p = 0.0003), (RR = 0.44, 95% CI [0.32 to 0.61]; p < 0.00001), respectively. Moreover, acupressure significantly reduced the need for rescue antiemetic drugs in both phases (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Acupressure is an effective procedure for reducing nausea, vomiting, and the need for antiemetic drugs after laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
The aim of this randomised, placebo-controlled, 3-way blinded study was to determine the effect on GIS symptoms, pain and anxiety of acupressure applied for a total of 12 min, as 3 min at each of the ST25, CV12, TH6, and HT7 acupuncture points, at 0, 4 and 8 h after laparoscopic cholecystectomy operation. The research data were collected using a patient data collection form, the Numeric Pain Intensity Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The patients were evaluated in respect of the time to first flatus and defecation, pain and the State-Trait Anxiety points at 0, 4, and 8 h postoperatively. The application of acupressure was determined to have signficantly reduced acute postoperative pain and shortened the time to defecation (p < 0.05). The application of acupressure can be recommended in the nursing interventions following laparoscopic cholecystectomy to reduce acute pain and shorten the time to defecation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgery accompanied by some unpleasant adverse effects. Clinical trials indicated that acupuncture therapy may help reduce complications in LC. However, no systematic reviews have been conducted on the topic. Therefore, we will evaluate the current evidence and provide a rank for the efficacy of acupuncture therapy in LC by performing Bayesian network meta-analysis. METHODS A total of 9 databases will be searched from inception to 10 December 2020. Randomized control trails met the criterion will be included. Quality evaluation of included studies will be performed using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. STATA 14.0, Addis 1.16.8, R 3.6.3, and OpenBUGS 3.2.3 will be used to conduct pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis. The evidence will be assessed by the Grades of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation. RESULTS This review will be based on clinical evidence to choose the best choice of acupuncture treatment for LC. And the results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION Through this systematic review, we will summarize the best available evidence of acupuncture therapy in LC and help to improve the clinical decision-making ability in LC domain. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION The protocol has been registered on INPLASY2020120056.

BACKGROUND Anxiety is a common complaint of patients before diagnostic or therapeutic invasive procedures, especially before open-heart surgery. The most well-known method to reduce anxiety is the use of sedatives, which have pronounced side effects. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of acupressure on anxiety in patients undergoing open-heart surgery. METHOD This is a randomized clinical trial study conducted on 90 patients who were candidates for open-heart surgery. The patients were randomly assigned into either intervention or control groups. Acupressure intervention was applied at three real acupoints over two consecutive days in the intervention group. The control group received acupressure on sham points. We used Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to assess anxiety in our study. RESULTS The results showed that before acupressure, there was no statistically significant difference between state anxiety scores and intergroup traits, and this difference was only significant in state anxiety after the second intervention. State and trait anxiety were significant before and after the intervention in the test group, respectively include (p < 0.001) (p = 0.01), but these changes in the control group did not show a statistically significant difference. After completing the second phase of the intervention at the actual sites, systolic blood pressure (p = 0.007) and heart rate (p = 0.001) decreased significantly. However, acupressure did not have a significant effect on diastolic blood pressure in any of the groups. CONCLUSION Based on the results of this study, the application of acupressure in patients who are candidates for open-heart surgery can reduce their state anxiety. Further larger-scale and rigorous studies are warranted.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) remain common and distressing complications following surgery. The routine use of opioid analgesics for perioperative pain management is a major contributing factor to both PONV and PDNV after surgery. PONV and PDNV can delay discharge from the hospital or surgicenter, delay the return to normal activities of daily living after discharge home, and increase medical costs. The high incidence of PONV and PDNV has persisted despite the introduction of many new antiemetic drugs (and more aggressive use of antiemetic prophylaxis) over the last two decades as a result of growth in minimally invasive ambulatory surgery and the increased emphasis on earlier mobilization and discharge after both minor and major surgical procedures (e.g. enhanced recovery protocols). Pharmacologic management of PONV should be tailored to the patient’s risk level using the validated PONV and PDNV risk-scoring systems to encourage cost-effective practices and minimize the potential for adverse side effects due to drug interactions in the perioperative period. A combination of prophylactic antiemetic drugs with different mechanisms of action should be administered to patients with moderate to high risk of developing PONV. In addition to utilizing prophylactic antiemetic drugs, the management of perioperative pain using opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic techniques is critically important for achieving an enhanced recovery after surgery. In conclusion, the utilization of strategies to reduce the baseline risk of PONV (e.g. adequate hydration and the use of nonpharmacologic antiemetic and opioid-sparing analgesic techniques) and implementing multimodal antiemetic and analgesic regimens will reduce the likelihood of patients developing PONV and PDNV after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nurses provide care at each phase of the complex, perioperative pathway and are well placed to identify areas of care requiring investigation in randomized controlled trials. Yet, currently, the scope of nurse-led randomized controlled trials conducted within the perioperative setting are unknown. This scoping review aims to identify areas of perioperative care in which nurse-led randomized controlled trials have been conducted, to identify issues impacting upon the quality of these trials and identify gaps for future investigation. METHODS This scoping review was conducted in reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, with a date range of 2014-19. Sources of unpublished literature included Open Grey, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses, Clinical Trials.gov and the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry. After title and abstract checking, full-text retrieval and data extraction, studies were appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists for randomized controlled trials. Data were synthesized according to the main objectives. Key information was tabulated. RESULTS From the 86 included studies, key areas where nurses have led randomized controlled trials include patient or caregiver anxiety; postoperative pain relief; surgical site infection prevention: patient and caregiver knowledge; perioperative hypothermia prevention; postoperative nausea and vomiting; in addition to other diverse outcomes. Issues impacting upon quality (including poorly reported randomization), and gaps for future investigation (including a focus on vulnerable populations), are evident. CONCLUSION Nurse-led randomized controlled trials in the perioperative setting have focused on key areas of perioperative care. Yet, opportunities exist for nurses to lead experimental research in other perioperative priority areas and within different populations that have been neglected, such as in the population of older adults undergoing surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following surgery and anesthesia, conventional drugs can carry some side effect in treating PONV. Acupressure PC6 point has been widely used in clinical, but there still exist controversy towards its effectiveness and safety. We, therefore, design this study to systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of acupressure PC6 point for treating PONV. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Nine online databases will be searched from their inception to May 2019. We will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving patients with PONV and receiving acupressure PC6 point treatment. Two independent reviewers will be responsible for the selection of studies, data extraction and risk of bias assessment. RevMan V.5.3 software will be used for data synthesis with either a fixed effects model or random effects model depending on the heterogeneity test. Evidence quality will be evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system (GRADE). The primary outcome is incidence of postoperative nausea (PON), postoperative vomiting (POV) and PONV events during 0 to 6 hours and after 6 hours of the treatment. The secondary outcome is the number of people who use emergency drugs and the number of people with adverse reactions. A meta-analysis will be conducted if no considerable heterogeneity is detected. The results will be presented as risk ratios with 95% confidence interval (CIs) for dichotomous data and weighted mean differences or standardized mean differences with 95% CIs for continuous data. RESULTS This study will provide a high-quality evidence to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupressure PC6 point for patient with PONV. CONCLUSION This review will provide up-date evidence of whether acupressure of PC6 point is an effective and safe intervention for PONV. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019135598.
