The present study evaluated the efficacy of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly called "tapping," for premenstrual (PMS) symptoms.
This study was conducted with the participation of 50 nursing students who scored 111 or higher on the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). The students in the experimental group were instructed to apply EFT.
There were statistically significant differences between the mean depressive affect, fatigue, nervousness, sleep-related changes, and swelling subscale scores and the PMSS total scale score of the experimental group measured during the pretest and posttest (p < 0.05).
The results demonstrate the efficacy of EFT in reducing PMS symptoms. As a fast and efficient self-treatment method, EFT can be easily implemented as a nonpharmacological intervention.
本研究评估了情绪自由技术(EFT),通常称为“轻敲”,对经前(PMS)症状的疗效。
这项研究有 50 名护理专业学生参加,这些学生在经前综合征量表(PMSS)上的得分在 111 分或以上。实验组的学生被指示应用 EFT。
实验组在预测试和后测试期间,在抑郁情绪、疲劳、紧张、睡眠相关变化和肿胀子量表评分以及 PMSS 总分方面的平均值有显著差异(p<0.05)。
结果表明 EFT 可有效减轻 PMS 症状。作为一种快速有效的自我治疗方法,EFT 可以作为一种非药物干预措施很容易地实施。
