Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.
Emotional Freedom Technique Application Guidelines
1. Determination of Subjective Units of Disturbance (SUD)
2. Preparation or setup
3. Application of appropriate acupuncture points in order
4. 9-Gamut: An application that allows the two hemispheres of the brain to be stimulated simultaneously
5. Application of appropriate acupuncture points in order again
6. Control of the differentiation in the level of discomfort with SUDS again

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.
