Acupressure has been found to be effective in a number of conditions. This study aims at determining the effectiveness of acupressure on achievement stress among high school students. A quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design was used. Statistical analysis of data revealed that acupressure was effective in reducing achievement stress among students within the study group (t= 13.498, p<0.001) and among students between the two study groups (F=74.836, p<.001). KEY WORDS: Acupressure, Achievement Stress, Effectiveness.References
