<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure intervention, foot gymnastics, and acupressure combination with foot gymnastics on the level of PAD in type 2 DM clients. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age (p = 0,000), smoking history (p = 0,000), and duration of DM (p = 0.028) with the level of PAD. Paired difference test results found that there were significant differences in the level of PAD before and after the intervention in the acupressure group (p = 0,000), foot gymnastics (p = 0,000), and the combination of acupressure with foot gymnastics (p = 0,000). The results of the ordinal logistic regression test showed that the combination of acupressure with foot exercises gave the strongest influence on the level of PAD (p = 0,000) with a contribution of 36.4%, acupressure (p = 0.005) with a contribution of 30.2%, and foot exercises ( p = 0.033) with a contribution of 20.6%. Conclusions, acupressure, and foot exercises affect the level of PAD of type 2 DM clients. Keywords: Acupressure, DM type 2, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Foot Gymnastics]]>
