- Brief Summary
This study tested how well Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) works to reduce stress and anxiety in female university students living in hostels. Eighty students were randomly divided into two groups: one received EFT therapy for 4 weeks, and the other did not. Stress and anxiety were measured before and after using standard scales. The group that received EFT showed a significant reduction in stress and anxiety compared to the control group. This suggests EFT is an effective way to help manage mental health problems in this group.
