The current study explored participants' experiences and perceptions of receiving acupressure within an Australian aged care context. Participants were older adults living in three residential aged care facilities who had received an acupressure intervention. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a thematic approach. Twelve participants (10 females and two males) were interviewed. Four major themes emerged: Having Better Sleep, Feeling Calm and sure. Participants' perception of the acupressure was positive, as participants found acupressure to be beneficial for the improvement of sleep, mood, and general wellbeing. Participants' overall perception supports the acceptability of acupressure and suggests acupressure may be beneficial for improving sleep, relaxation, and well-being in older adults.
