详细描述
The type of the study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical research model. The study design is a pre-test-post-test control group experimental trial. Data will be collected by the researchers through face-to-face interviews.
Patient identification form, state and trait anxiety scale will be applied to the experimental and control group patients as part of the pre-test. After the patients are given EFT training, they will be asked to apply it twice a week for 1 month. EFT videos and brochures will be given to the patients. 1 EFT session is applied for an average of 15 minutes. No intervention will be applied to the control group patients and the clinic's routine patient care and applications will be continued. State and trait anxiety scale will be applied to the experimental and control group patients as part of the post-test.
*After the data collection process is completed, EFT training will be given to the control group patients if they wish. EFT videos and brochures will be given to the patients. It will be stated to the patients that they can contact the researchers by phone for information/support regarding the applications.
Emotional freedom technique application is an application that works on cognitive and energetic levels. For this reason, in the application of the emotional freedom technique, exposure therapy is applied to individuals first. Exposure therapy is the comparison of individuals with the situation called trigger, which creates a stress response in the individual, during the application. The individual is reminded of the trigger and the individual is made conscious and aware of the discomfort. This situation activates the amygdala and creates a threat warning.

- Application of appropriate acupuncture points in order again
- Control of the differentiation in the level of discomfort with SUDS again
干预措施: Emotional freedom technique (Behavioral)
Standard of Care
As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, state and trait anxiety scale will be applied to the control group patients. The intervention will not be applied to the control group patients and the clinic's routine patient care and practices will continue. As part of the post-test, the state and trait anxiety scale will be applied to the control group patients again.
*After the data collection process is completed, EFT training will be provided to the control group patients upon their request. EFT videos and brochures will be provided to the patients. It will be stated to the patients that they can contact the researchers by phone for information/support regarding the practices.

anxiety level
时间窗: After receiving EFT training, patients will be asked to apply it twice a week for one month. Each EFT session lasts approximately 15 minutes. Measurements will be taken over one month.
State and Trait Anxiety Scale: The adaptation and arrangement of the scales to Turkish was made by Necla Öner and Le Compte. Both scales consist of 20 items and are graded on a 4-point Likert scale. Scoring is done between 1-4. The scores obtained from both scales theoretically vary between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.
