Acupressure can serve as a technique that students can use to relax and take a break from their busy schedules. Implementing acupressure techniques can empower students to maintain good health and well-being (Goal 3) proactively. Aim To investigate the effects of acupressure on reducing the severity of headaches and anxiety among nursing university students. Method A quasi-experimental study was used to collect data for this study regulated by a questionnaire. The study consisted of 178 participants selected from Prince Sattam University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results When comparing pre, post, and follow-up ratings for all headache domains, the interventional group of students demonstrated statistically significant improvement (p = 0.001). After the acupressure intervention, students’ anxiety levels improved. There is statistically significant improvement (p = 0.001). Conclusion Acupressure can help students manage recurring anxiety by boosting relaxation, lowering stress levels, improving sleep quality, increasing attention and concentration, and instilling a sense of self-care and empowerment.
