This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of acupressure on lactation in non-breastfeeding mothers. The sample of the study was comprised of 64 mothers, who were randomly selected among the primipara mothers of premature newborns delivered through cesarean section in a hospital. Before the implementation, the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale and the Richards? Campbell Sleep Questionnaire were applied. In post-operative three days, 15-minute acupressure was implemented in the morning/evening, for acupressure-group mothers and pump milking was applied; control group mothers were only milked in the mornings and evenings. Mothers' perceptions of lactation symptoms were evaluated with Visual Analog Scale. Acupressure satisfaction was evaluated with a Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale, and pumped milk quantities were recorded. Indications of lactation such as tension, heat, and pain in breasts were found to be higher in acupressure group.The amounts of milk in acupressure group were significantly higher compared to control group
