Background: Sleep quality is crucial for patient recovery and well-being, yet hospitalized patients often suffer from poor sleep due to environmental disruptions, clinical routines, psychosocial stressors.

Sleep quality in adult inpatients is frequently and severely disturbed by various factors such as noise, pain, unfamiliar surroundings, which can impair disease recovery. Acupressure widely used to improve sleep hospitalized patients, but its overall effectiveness unclear. This meta-analysis aims analyze the efficacy of acupressure therapy on parameters inpatients. Eight electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials published before April 2024. Two researchers independently screened, assessed, extracted data from included studies. A total 41 studies involving 3680 subjects included. The showed a significant difference between control groups (SMD = -1.58, 95% CI [-1.85, -1.31]), time 1.12, [0.40, 1.83]), efficiency 0.90, [0.29, 1.52]), onset latency -0.73, [-1.14, -0.33]), wake after -1.32, [-2.55, -0.09]). meta-regression results suggested that number sessions daily duration each session influencing heterogeneity. an effective intervention
