- Auricular point sticking group
- description
- Auricular point sticking therapy is performed on the basis of control group. The acupoint intervention group is established, and the research team consists of 2 graduate students, 1 graduate supervisor, 1 head nurse, 1 chief physician of traditional Chinese medicine, and 1 nursing expert. The nursing expert is responsible for the overall design of the project, and the director of traditional Chinese medicine is responsible for the selection of acupoints and the training of nurses for massage. The supervisor of graduate students and the head nurse are responsible for the overall quality control of the intervention process, while the graduate students are responsible for the preliminary and final screening of research objects, the implementation of intervention programs, the organization, coordination and recording of the entire intervention process and the collection of data.
