The Effect of Emotional Freedom Technique on Postoperative Pain and Anxiety on Total Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Emotional Freedom Technique on Postoperative Pain and Anxiety on Total Knee Replacement

Clinical Trial Summary

Since pain is a complex and unpleasant feeling that affects the individual physically, mentally and socially, it should be controlled. It is also known that major surgeries such as orthopedics and traumatology, general surgery and cardiovascular surgery cause fear of death in the patient, and this fear is then replaced by general anxiety and post-operative pain. The emotional freedom technique is a method that uses cognitive functions and physical components (tapping acupuncture points) to bring about psychological changes. It is also defined as "needle-free acupuncture" or "an emotional form of acupressure" because it is a gentle, non-invasive procedure and uses acupuncture meridians. This method, which is very old in Eastern cultures, started to be used in the West in the 1980s. In this developed technique, all 12 points on the 12 basic meridians, which are the flow paths of the energy in the body, are used. In the emotional liberation technique tour, general anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, fears and the discomfort caused by anxiety are eliminated and all kinds of targeted problems are cured. Considering the patients as a whole in terms of biopsychosocial is the basic element of nursing. It is inevitable to experience pain and anxiety in the post-operative period in individuals who are in a foreign environment such as a hospital and who have undergone major surgery such as total knee replacement. With this study, it is expected that the emotional freedom technique will contribute to the national and international literature on the effect of pain and anxiety in the post-operative period and will be a source of information in the development of nursing science on the use of non-pharmacological treatments that can be used in the treatment of pain and anxiety in patients.
