Sponsor: Bingol University

Summary

Surgical interventions are unusual interventions that can cause anxiety and fear in individuals. It is known that anxiety and fear experienced during this period affect the intraoperative and postoperative process. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a type of energy psychotherapy that has no side effects and its effect on fear has been demonstrated in many studies. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) applied in the preoperative period in pregnant women planned to have a cesarean section on surgical fear, intraoperative hemodynamics and newborn Apgar score. Research questions: 1. Does EFT Technique reduce surgical fear level? 2. Does EFT Technique affect intraoperative hemodynamics? 3. Is EFT Technique effective on newborn Apgar score? 4. Is there a relationship between surgical fear and intraoperative hemodynamics and newborn Apgar score? The research will be conducted in two stages in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Bingöl State Hospital and the operating room unit of the same hospital. The universe of the study will consist of women who are scheduled for elective cesarean delivery and who do not have a risky pregnancy and who are admitted to Bingöl State Hospital. Considering the possibility of data loss due to various reasons during the study process, it is planned to be completed on a total of 60 women, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group.
