Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Materials and Methods: The study will be conducted between 2025 and 2026 as a pretest-posttest, parallel design (1:1) randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at the Kütahya City Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Department. The sample size was determined to be 66 patients, with 33 patients each in the experimental and control groups.
Measurement tools include a Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Cardiac Anxiety Scale, and Richard Campbell Sleep Scale. Data will be collected through one-on-one patient interviews.
The researcher has successfully completed a 3.5-hour EFT training program at the Boğaziçi Education Institute. EFT will be administered to the patients by the researcher.
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery at the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic who volunteer to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria will complete the Informed Consent Form, Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Cardiac Anxiety Scale, and Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale. Patients will then be assigned to the experimental or control groups by a person other than the researcher based on the randomization list. Patients in the experimental group will receive EFT in addition to standard cardiovascular surgery clinic procedures, while patients in the control group will receive standard cardiovascular surgery clinic procedures. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS. The study will be conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Findings: The findings of the research will be written after the data to be obtained after the implementation of the research and data collection will be analyzed in the SPSS program.
Conclusion: The results of the research will be written by determining the findings after analyzing the data to be obtained after the implementation of the research and data collection in the SPSS program.
