INTERVENTION: Intervention 1: Intervention group1 : The SJ6 ‐ LI4 ‐ ST25‐ SP6 points of both members are determined symmetrically by the researcher's fingers. Acupressure will be performed twice daily (10 am and 6 pm) from the beginning of the day for three days. Point ST25 (Tianshu) is located two fingers away from the navel . The LI4 (Hegu) point lies at the depth of the muscle bundle, resulting from the thumb and forefinger . The SJ6 (Zhigou) dot is located four inches above the transverse line of the wrist between Radius and Ulna . The SP6 (sanyinjiao) point is four fingers above the medial ankle behind the posterior edge of the tibia. Apply acupressure on each spot symmetrically for two minutes. Apply a minute with your thumb pressed vertically, then rest for 5 seconds and then rotate for one minute. A total of 9 minutes of intervention will be administered to the patient each time. Nutrition training and routine nursing care are also provided. Intervention 2: Intervention group2: The sham group offers routine nursing education and care, and the procedure will be exactly the same as the intervention group, except that pressure is close to the acupressure points according to accredited acupressure specialists in the field, which is about half that. No special timber is applied. The order of the pressure, the type of pressure, the position of the patient, the time and the amount of pressure in the test and sham groups will be the same. The location of the pressure points is similar to that of the intervention group except that they are 1.5 cm apart. It should be noted that in both groups, the pressure procedure will be taught by one person (the researcher). Intestinal function and checklists will then be completed before the intervention and in the first to fourth days. Interven CONDITION: I21.3 myocardial infarction. ; ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site PRIMARY OUTCOME: Intestinal function. Timepoint: Before and the first day to 4th day of intervention. Method of measurement: Bristool scale. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Acute myocardial infarction, which is confirmed by a laboratory positive blood troponin level and confirmed by a physician.
