Comparison of the self-EFT group
时间窗: up to 24 weeks
Comparison of the group to which EFT was performed by the researcher, Brief Scan for Stress and Problem List to assess stress and problems (Calculated out of 10 points, cut-off point is 4), Brief Pain Invertory to assess pain: The numeric pain scale is evaluated on a scale of 0-10, with "0" representing no pain and "10" representing excruciating pain. Each item is rated on a numerical scale from 0 to 10; "0" means not affected at all, "100" means completely affected). At the end of the study, pain and stress scores of the two experimental groups (EFT performed by the researcher and self-administered EFT) before and after EFT were analyzed and compared.
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SELF-APPLIED EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE ON PAIN AND STRESS LEVELS IN FIBROMYALGIA PATIENTS
时间窗: INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SELF-APPLIED EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE ON PAIN AND STRESS LEVELS IN FIBROMYALGIA PATIENTS
It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in stress thermometer measurements in the researcher-administered EFT, Self-EFT and Control groups according to time (p\<0.05). As a result, the hypotheses "H1: EFT application has an effect on the pain level of patients", "H2: EFT application has an effect on the stress level of patients", "H3: EFT application has an effect on the comfort level of patients", "H4: EFT application has an effect on the fibromyalgia level of patients" were accepted. As a result of the research, significant differences were determined in pain, stress and comfort levels in all application groups.
