Acupressure is also a non-invasive intervention and is relatively difficult to do (Lee & Frazier, 2011). This EBN application aims to achieve quality nursing care through comprehensive nursing interventions and improve nursing services that pay attention to the principles of atraic care in children undergoing chemotherapy by minimizing complaints of nausea and vomiting. Research methods with systematic reviews. The result of this EBN application is the effectiveness of acupressure in reducing nausea and vomiting in children undergoing chemotherapy.
