Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of emotional freedom technique and music, which are effective in relieving pain and anxiety, on the pain and anxiety that occur during intrauterine device application.

Detailed description

Intrauterine devices, which are considered one of the most effective contraceptive methods, can be effective up to 99% when used correctly. While 17% of women of reproductive age around the world use intrauterine devices, 13.7% of women in our country prefer intrauterine devices as a contraceptive method. Intrauterine devices have many benefits such as being easy to use, returning fertility when removed, being able to be used for a long time, and being low in cost. Intrauterine devices are recommended to women as the first choice by medical institutions due to their high effectiveness rates. However, anxiety and pain experienced during the intrauterine device placement procedure may prevent women from choosing intrauterine devices as a birth control method. Music and emotional liberation techniques can be used as alternative methods to relieve pain and anxiety. In this research, the effects of emotional freedom technique and music, which are effective on pain and anxiety, on pain and anxiety during intrauterine device application will be investigated. Additionally, it will be tested whether the emotional liberation technique and music are superior to each other in relieving the pain and anxiety that occur during intrauterine device application. Additionally, no research has been found in the literature examining the effects of emotional liberation technique and music recital on the pain and anxiety experienced during intrauterine device application. With this research, the gap in the field will be eliminated and new research and applications will be structured.
