About

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of emotional freedom technique on kinesiophobia and the risk of developing pressure sores in patients undergoing obesity surgery.

The hypotheses of the study are as follows:

H1-0: Emotional liberation technique has no effect on kinesiophobia in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

H1-1: Emotional liberation technique has a positive effect on kinesiophobia in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

H2-0: Emotional liberation technique has no effect on the risk of developing pressure ulcers in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

H2-1: Emotional liberation technique has a positive effect on the risk of developing pressure ulcers in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Full description

Intervention Group: After the pre-test application (Personal Introduction Form, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and Braden Pressure Sore Risk Assessment Scale) EFT was applied to the patients when they were stable before the bariatric surgery and they were taught to do it on their own. After the bariatric surgery, the patients were asked to do 1 session of EFT and were accompanied. After the application, the patients were applied post-tests (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and Braden Pressure Sore Risk Assessment Scale). EFT training was given by a researcher who has a certificate in the field.

Control Group Patients were administered pre-tests (Personal Introduction Form, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and Braden Pressure Sore Risk Assessment Scale) at a stable time before bariatric surgery. Post-tests (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and Braden Pressure Sore Risk Assessment Scale) were administered to patients after bariatric surgery at a stable time. After the post-tests, EFT was administered to patients in the control group.
