The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effects of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) applied to women in menopause on sleep quality and quality of life.
It will be conducted with 80 women between the ages of 45-64, registered in a family health center in a city in the east of Turkey, who have been in menopause for at least one year and volunteer to participate in the study.
EFT will be applied to the women to be included in the experimental group in the study once a week, a total of four times in a month.
The "Participant Information Form", "Utian Quality of Life Scale" and "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale" prepared by the researchers in line with the literature information will be used in the collection of research data.
详细描述
The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effects of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) applied to women in menopause on sleep quality and quality of life.
It will be conducted with 80 women between the ages of 45-64, registered in a family health center in a city in the east of Turkey, who have been in menopause for at least one year and volunteered to participate in the study.
The "simple randomization method" will be selected as the randomization method in the study in order to provide an equal number of samples in two groups. A random number table will be created in a computer environment using the httpp://www.randomizer.org/website for the 80 participants to be sampled, with numbers from 1 to 80 in two groups. It will be decided by tossing a coin to determine which group the groups should be in. The names on the list will be evaluated according to the group corresponding to that order in the table, and accordingly, 40 women will be assigned to the experimental group and 40 women will be assigned to the control group.
EFT will be applied to the women to be included in the experimental group in the study once a week, a total of four times in a month.
When the research is completed, the data of the experimental and control groups (coded as X and Y) will be transferred to the computer environment by a statistician independent of the research and the data will be analyzed and the findings will be reported. Our research is planned to be conducted as a single-blind study in which the statistician will be blinded.

主要结局
Quality of life levels during menopause
时间窗: 1 month
