		abstract={Emesis gravidarum is a common condition among pregnant women, with an infection rate of 12.5% ​​worldwide. Hormonal and immune changes have a role in emesis gravidarum. There are drug-based and non-pharmacological emesis gravidarum treatments by diet. Non-virology treatment is through diet, emotional support, and alternative therapies using herbs and acupressure. Acupressure treatment has been widely used in the health sector as a support for medical care, commonly in obstetric clinics. This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure on emesis gravidarum. This type of research is quantitative (analytic) with a quasi-experimental design with Pre-Test and Post-Test Control Group Design. The intervention group was given acupressure. In contrast, the control group was given a placebo. The measured indicator is the frequency of nausea vomiting in pregnant women before and after treatment, and treatment is done once a day for seven days. The results of the study concluded that the distribution of emesis gravidarum before in the intervention group was in the moderate categ-ory – 15 people, (39.5%). In contrast, the control group was in the medium category; 13 people, (34.2%). The distribution of emesis gravidarum after acupressure was done in the intervention group was the mild category, 32 people (84.2%), while the control group was the sweet category, 24 people (63.2%). There was a difference in the effect of acupressure on emesis gravidarum before and after treatment with the results of the intervention analysis of the P-value of 0.000 which means <0.05}
