Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
After coming to the clinic after surgery and after their condition was stable, the patients were given the patient introduction form, subjective discomfort unit, cancer anxiety scale and death anxiety scale as a pre-test. The researchers provided Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) training to the patients and asked them to apply Emotional Freedom Technique. After an average of 3 days, the subjective discomfort unit, cancer anxiety scale and death anxiety scale were applied as a post-test.
Control Group
After coming to the clinic after surgery and after their condition was stable, the patient introduction form, subjective discomfort unit, cancer anxiety scale and death anxiety scale were applied as a pre-test. No intervention was made to the control group patients outside the clinical protocol. After an average of 3 days, the subjective discomfort unit, cancer anxiety scale and death anxiety scale were applied as a post-test.
