Brief summary: This research aims to determine the effects of reiki and acupressure applied after percutaneous coronary intervention on pain, anxiety and vital signs during femoral catheter extraction.

Detailed description: In this study, 84 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention were assigned to the reiki, acupressure and control groups by block randomization method.In the acupressure group (n=28) the heart meridian 7th point (HT7) large intestine meridian 4th point (LI4) and pericardial meridian 6th point (PC6) will be applied to a total of three points.Depending on the preparation and compression time on each point, the session duration of each patient will be 18 minutes on average.In the reiki group (n=28) the crown chakra (top of the head), the forehead chakra (above the forehead), the throat chakra (above the throat), the heart chakra (the middle of the chest), the solar plexus (under the chest, above the navel), the sacral chakra (below the navel) and the root chakra (above the coccyx) will be applied to the region of the 7 chakra points on.In the reiki group, the reiki application time will take 21 minutes on average.Routine care will be applied to the control group (n=28).Pre-test data of patients in the acupressure, reiki and control groups will be collected 30 minutes before femoral catheter extraction after percutaneous coronary. Posttest data will be collected five minutes after femoral catheter extraction.

Data will be collected using the "Personal Information Form", "Visual Analog Scale", "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Vital Signs Evaluation Form".
