An Integrative Review of Acupressure Interventions for Older people: A focus on sleep quality, depression, anxiety and agitation

ConclusionThis review found some emerging evidences that acupressure can be beneficial for older people who suffer from sleep problems and depression. Use of specific acupressure points, with standardised acupressure treatment protocols, may improve sleep quality and possibly psychological wellbeing of older people. Future research with well ‐designed mixed method studies are required to produce stronger evidence, as well as in‐depth understanding of acupressure intervention in aged care context.
