About

Introduction: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a condition that occurs in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and affects women's lives physically, psychologically and behaviorally, starting approximately five days before menstruation and decreasing spontaneously a few days later.

Purpose: This research is planned to examine the effect of the Emotional Freedom Technique on the experience of premenstrual syndrome and menstrual symptoms and the quality of life of nursing students with premenstrual syndrome.

Method: The research will be conducted with first, second, third and fourth year female students studying at Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Nursing. Diagnostic information form, premenstrual syndrome scale, menstruation symptom scale, SF-12 quality of life scale and subjective danger units will be collected via Google form. SUD Scale will be applied. The research is designed with experimental and control groups, and it is found that a total of 70 female students are needed, 35 in the experimental group and 35 in the control group. PMSS analysis will be performed and students who score over 132 points and meet the inclusion criteria will be numbered in the order of filling out the survey, and randomization will be done using the "Random Sequence Generator" through www.random.org, which provides computer-assisted randomization, and experimental and control groups will be created. Simple randomization will be applied to keep the control and experimental groups equal. To ensure blinding in the study, randomization will be carried out by someone other than the researchers. A total of 8 sessions of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) will be applied to the experimental group, once a week. No application other than the scales will planned for the control group.
