One of the most common discomforts in early pregnancy is nausea and vomiting. Although its etiology is not known exactly, it affects an average of 50-90% of pregnant women. The severity of nausea-vomiting can vary from person to person, as well as in different pregnancies of the woman. The severity of nausea-vomiting is affected by hormonal, psychological and social factors. Adaptation to pregnancy, spouse relations, future anxiety and social support perception in nausea and vomiting experienced during early pregnancy affect women negatively and cause anxiety. The severity of nausea and vomiting also increases due to anxiety. As the severity of nausea-vomiting increases, the search for solutions to this situation and their applications to health institutions increase. Many non-pharmacological methods (respiratory exercises, acupuncture, acupressure, etc.) are used in treatment, as well as hydration, rest and pharmacological agents. One of these methods is the emotional liberation technique, which is included in cognitive behavioral therapies. This method basically treats the person physiologically and psychologically as a whole, similar to other cognitive behavioral therapies, unless there is a physiological disorder. It is aimed to reach a solution by raising awareness for the emotion felt, avoiding negative emotions and focusing on affirmations to replace them. Emotional liberation technique is an easy-to-apply and fast-solving technique in cases recorded in the subconscious with negative emotions and in the treatment of stress disorders in general. No use of emotional liberation technique has been found in the literature for the severity of nausea-vomiting and anxiety experienced during early pregnancy. Therefore, it is thought that this study will contribute to the literature. In addition, it is thought that this method will enrich midwifery interventions as a non-pharmacological method applied to pregnant women in the treatment of nausea-vomiting and anxiety, because this method is fast and practical, and the result is easy to reach. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of emotional liberation technique applied during early pregnancy on nausea and vomiting severity and anxiety.

Primary | Subjective Units of Experience- (SUE) | The negative 10 feel the greatest pain, disappointment, fear, stress, sadness, or discomfort imaginable.
When it reaches Positive 10, the client feels very different and wonderful. The meanings of the ratings in this range change gradually. The scale has no cutoff score. It is interpreted according to the mean of the scores and its relevance to other variables. |
Each participant will be evaluated for 1 week. | |
Secondary | Descriptive Data | Pregnant information form prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, socio-demographic (pregnant woman's age, education and employment status, income status, family type and place of residence), obstetric (current gestational week and pregnancy history), psycho-social and medical history (desire for pregnancy) status, whether there is a chronic disease) consists of questions. | It will be obtained in 1 month at the beginning of the research. | |
Secondary | Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea- (PUQE) | The PUQE test questions the number of nausea attacks, the number of vomiting, and the number of retching. A tight agreement was observed between the results obtained from the PUQE test and the Rhodes test (30). In the evaluation of the Puqe test, the total score was 3-6 as mild, 7-12 as moderate, and 13-15 as severe nausea and vomiting. | The time frame; pregnant women between 6 and 16 weeks included in the study will be evaluated for 4 weeks. It will take an average of 1 month to obtain the data. Measured PUQE scale data will be reported within 6 weeks at the end of the study. | |
Secondary | Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-2 (PRAQ-2) | PRAQ-2 was developed by Van den Bergh in 1990 to measure the anxiety levels of women about their pregnancy periods and was revised by Huizink et al. It is a 5-point Likert-type scale, which was revised in 2016 to be applied to all pregnant women regardless of parity. It was adapted into Turkish by Aksoy Derya et al. The minimum and maximum scores that can be obtained from the scale are 11 and 55 for primiparas and 10 and 50 for multiparas, respectively. A score is calculated for each subscale of the PRAQ-2. As the score obtained from PRAQ-2 increases, the level of anxiety about pregnancy also increases. All statements in the questionnaire are positive statements. The scale does not have a breakpoint. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the values calculated at various weeks of pregnancy was found to be between 0.71 and 0.85 in multiparas and between 0.75 and 0.84 in primiparas. | The time frame; pregnant women between 6 and 16 weeks included in the study will be evaluated for 4 weeks. It will take an average of 1 month to obtain the data. Measured PRAQ-R2 scale data will be reported within 6 weeks at the end of the study. |
