Background: Nurses must stay awake during the night to provide nursing cares that can causes SLEEPINESS DISORDERs. It has been shown that Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) as a new method of ACUPUNCTURE with low side effect and invasion has an appropriate effect to improve the Sleep disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of TEAS on SLEEPINESS DISORDER of nurses who works in afternoon and night shifts.Methods: in this study 60 nurses (38 female 22 male) who work in afternoon and night shifts in were studied. SLEEPINESS DISORDER evaluated by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). If a person had ESS³9 was qualify for entrance to study. Patients divided in three groups including acupressure points (Electrical acupoint sstimulation in SP6, H7 and Li4), Sham points and control group with no intervention. For these patients, TEAS was done in 10 sessions (5 minute). Finally, data were analyzed by SPSS 16.Results: Of 60 nurses, 36 nurses (60%) had ESS³9. There wasn’t any significant difference between ages, sex, marriage and experience with ESS (P>0.05). Also, there is no significant difference in ESS between three groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, there is significant improvement in the all of ESS in the acupressure points group, while in the Sham points and control group there isn’t significant improvement.Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the prevalence of SLEEPINESS DISORDER in shift worker nurses is high and screening and treatment of this disorder should be done.
