Pregnancy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects Of Emotional Freedom Technique and Hypermesis Gravidarum
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is effective in alleviating nausea and vomiting in pregnant women with hyperemesis. Additionally, the study aims to gather information on the safety of EFT application. The primary questions it seeks to answer are: Does EFT reduce nausea and vomiting in pregnant women with hyperemesis? Is EFT applicable for use in pregnant women with hyperemesis? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of EFT to traditional nursing education on non-pharmacological interventions for preventing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women with hyperemesis. Participants: Pre-EFT application survey scale questions will be asked to the pregnant women with hyperemesis. EFT will be applied once by the researcher to the pregnant women with hyperemesis. For control, the same survey scale questions will be asked to the same pregnant women two days after the EFT application for post-test purposes. For control, the same survey scale questions will be asked to the same pregnant women seven days after the EFT application for post-test purposes. The same procedures will be applied in the same manner to the control group that will receive education.
Type of Research: It is planned to be randomized, controlled and experimental. Place and Characteristics of the Research: The research will be carried out in the women health and diseases service and Gynecology polyclinics of Bezmialem Vakif University Faculty of Medicine Central Hospital. Population and Sample of the Research:The sample size was determined as a minimum of 74 people in total using the G Power 3.1 method. The effect size was determined using the t test values in the reference study in which the scale was used with a similar patient group. Criteria for Inclusion in the Study:Pregnant women who are between 6 and 14 weeks of gestation, aged between 20 and 40 years old, and have complaints of nausea and vomiting are eligible for the study. These participants should report their discomfort as 5 or above on the VAS scale. Additionally, they must not have been diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy or any psychological disorders. Lastly, they must voluntarily agree to participate in the study. Criteria for Exclusion from the Study: Exclusion criteria are the presence of coordination and language problems in the pregnant woman and her desire to leave the study at any time or not to participate. Survey Scales Descriptive Information Form: The pregnancy information form, prepared in line with the literature review conducted by the researchers, includes socio-demographic (age of the pregnant woman, education and employment status, income level, family type and place of residence), obstetric (current gestational week and pregnancy history), psychosocial information. It consists of questions about social and medical history (pregnancy desire), whether there is a chronic disease) and VAS Scale. VAS is a measurement tool used to measure both pain intensity and pain relief, which is simple, effective and repeatable and requires minimal tools. 2. Pregnancy-Specific Nausea and Vomiting Severity Scale (PUQE-24): its form specific to the pregnancy period that evaluates nausea and vomiting for the last 12 hours. It was later reported that it would be more appropriate to evaluate the last 24 hours for clinical use, as the last 12 hours sometimes include the sleep period in terms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. Thereupon, the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE-24) Scale was developed and evaluate the severity of pregnancy-specific nausea and vomiting in the last 24 hours. Its Turkish validity and reliability were conducted. Pregnancy-Specific Nausea and Vomiting Severity Scale (PUQE-24) consists of 3 questions:duration of nausea or stomach discomfort, number of vomiting episodes, and number of retching episodes. Answers to the questions are scored between 1 and 5 points. The total score of the scale is obtained by the sum of the scores of the answers given to the questions. The lowest possible score that can be obtained from the scale is 3 and the highest score is 15. If the total score obtained as a result of the PUQE-24 scoring system is 3-6, it is considered mild, 7-12 is considered moderate, and 13-15 is considered severe nausea and vomiting. The scale has no subdimensions. Cronbacha alpha value of the Turkish version of the scale is 0.75. 3.World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale: The WHOQOL-100 scale was developed with the participation of 15 centers from many countries. This scale allows cross-cultural comparisons. WHOQOL-100 was later abbreviated as WHOQOLBREF. WHOQOL-BREF consists of four sub-dimensions: physical domain, spiritual domain, social domain and environmental domain. The validity and reliability of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale 31 Short Form-Turkish Version (WHOQOL-BREF-TR) in Turkey was determined. WHOQOL-BREF-TR used in this study consists of 27 questions. For each question, there are options that can be scored between 1 and 5. The scale does not have a total score. The score range that can be obtained from each other sub-dimension is obtained by multiplying the arithmetic mean of that sub-dimension by 4. The score range that can be received for each sub-dimension is between 4-20. Increasing scores from the subscales indicate that the quality of life also increases ;
