Limitations
anxiety
When applying the results of this study, several limitations should be taken into consideration. Firstly, the mental state of participants during acupressure could have potentially influenced the study outcomes, which was beyond the control of the researcher. Secondly, the study was conducted solely on university students, which may impact the generalizability of the findings to a broader population. Additionally, in this study, therapists of the same gender were utilized for both male and female students, potentially introducing a bias in the results. To address this limitation, both therapists underwent comprehensive training with an acupuncturist. Lastly, it’s important to note that the research findings are solely based on a subjective anxiety scale, as objective assessments were not included in the study.
