Abstract: Acupressure can be conducted on agitated RCH residents with dementia, but low yield of saliva samples related to participants' hyposalivation is a problem. Preliminary findings suggest that acupressure is effective in reducing both agitation and stress. Its onset of effect was immediate, and the effect was sustained until 6 weeks after the intervention. The optimal dosage appears to be a course of acupressure twice a day for 2 weeks.

“…The preliminary evidence also indicates that acupressure is effective in reducing agitation and can feasibly be implemented in agitated PWD [14,15,16]. A time serial pilot study demonstrated that acupressure can reduce the agitation and salivary cortisol of agitated PWD [17]. Similar effects have also been observed with other manual therapies, such as massage [18,19] and therapeutic touch [20,21,22,23].…”

“…Based on the findings from the pilot study [17] and referring to previous similar studies [14,15], the size of the sample was estimated by a priori power analysis using G*Power 3.1.3 [26]. Considering the assumptions (i.e., α = 0.05, power = 0.8, 3 groups, within-between interaction effect), the estimated effect size (i.e., f = 0.14), and the attrition rate (i.e., 10%), the total number of participants that would be needed to demonstrate a significant interaction effect between the groups and time points was 99.…”
