研究组 & 干预措施
EFT İNVERTİON GROUP
During the initial consultation, the Personal Information Form, SUE Scale, State Anxiety Scale (SAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) Monitoring Form will be administered. EFT, which lasts approximately 30-40 minutes, will be administered to women by the researcher. Second measurement: Immediately after EFT, the SUE Scale, State Anxiety Scale (SAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) will be administered again. Following the second measurement, the probe curettage will be performed. Third measurement: During the procedure, the VAS and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) Monitoring Form will be administered. Fourth measurement: After the probe curettage, women will be given 2 minutes to rest. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen satur

control group
During the initial consultation, the Personal Information Form, SUE Scale, State Anxiety Scale (SAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) Monitoring Form will be administered. Second measurement: The SUE Scale, State Anxiety Scale (SAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) will be administered again simultaneously with the EFT group. Following the second measurement, a probe curettage will be performed. Third measurement: During the procedure, the VAS and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) Monitoring Form will be applied. Fourth measurement: After the probe curettage, women will be given 2 minutes to rest. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation/SpO2) Monitoring Form will be applied.
结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Baseline (pre-procedure) and during the probe curettage procedure.
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a numeric rating scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
次要结局
- State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State Version (STAI-I)(Baseline (pre-procedure) and immediately post-procedure.)
- Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure(Baseline (pre-procedure), during the probe curettage procedure, and immediately post-procedure (within 2 minutes after completion).)
- Heart Rate(Baseline (pre-procedure), during the probe curettage procedure, and immediately post-procedure (within 2 minutes after completion).)
- Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂)(Baseline (pre-procedure), during the probe curettage procedure, and immediately post-procedure (within 2 minutes after completion).)
