Experiment Group
The nurses in the control group were informed about the purpose of working in a quiet room. STAI-D, STAI-S, SUD, P19-S scales were filled face-to-face by the investigator after their informed consent was obtained. The scales were filled again by the researcher after a break of 7 (seven) days.
In order to avoid bias in the intervention applied in our study, the experimental group was started after the control group was finished. The participants were informed about the purpose of working face-to-face in a quiet room so that EFT, which will be applied online for 7 (seven) days by the researcher, can be applied effectively and accurately. STAI-D, STAI-S, SUD, P19-S scales were completed after their consent was obtained. The researcher, who has the EFT certificate, first showed the application steps on himself with the guidance of the EFT guideline, and ensured that the application steps were applied again simultaneously on both himself and the participant. After this application, it was provided to make EFT online for 7 (seven) days. STAI-D, STAI-S, SUD, P19-S scales were filled in after the last EFT application.
