Abstract： Objective： To discuss the effect of auricular point pressing with beans combined with point application on preoperative anxiety of patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods： A total of 120 cases of patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into the auricular point pressing with beans group，the point application group，and the combination group(auricular point pressing with beans combined with point application)， 40 cases in each group. All groups were given routine perioperative intervention. The auricular point pressing with beans group was given auricular point pressing with seeds of Semen Vaccariae one day before surgery. The point application group was given point application with hospital self-made Chinese medicine plaster one day before surgery. The combination group was given auricular acupoint pressing with beans combined with point application one day before surgery. Scores of the State-trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) one day and 30 minutes before surgery were observed in the three groups. The levels of heart rate(HR)，systolic blood pressure(SBP)，and diastolic blood pressure(DBP) 30 minutes before surgery and 5 minutes after entering the operating room were compared among the three groups. The postoperative recovery during hospitalization was compared among the three groups. Results： There was no significant difference being found in the comparison of STAI scores one day before surgery among the three groups(P＞0.05)；STAI scores 30 minutes before surgery in the three groups were significantly decreased when compared with those one day before surgery(P＜0.05)； STAI score 30 minutes before surgery in the combination group was significantly lower than those in the other two groups， the difference being significant(P＜0.05)； there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of STAI scores 30 minutes before surgery between the auricular point pressing with beans group and the point application group(P＞0.05). In the combination group， HR， SBP， and DBP at 30 minutes before surgery and five minutes after entering the operation room were lower than those in the other two groups，the difference being significant(P＜0.05). When compared with those in the same group at 30 minutes before surgery，HR，SBP，and DBP at 5 minutes after entering the operation room in the auricular point pressing with beans group and the point application group were both significantly increased(P＜0.05)；the three indexes in the combination group were increased slightly，and there was no significance being found in the difference(P＞0.05). The postoperative recovery time of gastrointestinal function in the combination group was shorter than those in the auricular point pressing with beans group and the point application group，the difference being significant(P＜0.05). There was no significant difference being found in the comparison of hospitalization time among the three groups(P＞0.05). Conclusion： The intervention of auricular point pressing with beans combined with point application can effectively relieve preoperative anxiety and stress of patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery， and promote the postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function.
