Brief 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.
Interventions

OTHERMusic group
Women in this group will wear headphones and listen to music throughout the intrauterine device application.
OTHERControl group

Masking description
In order to ensure randomization and prevent contamination between groups, data will be collected in a sequence such that emotional freedom technique is collected one week, music is collected one week, and control group data is collected one week. It will be decided by drawing lots which group's data will be collected first.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | It will be used for 10 months, which is the data collection period. It will be used before and ten minutes after intrauterine device application. | A visual analog scale will be used to measure the pain caused by intrauterine device application. It is a two-ended scale that is used to measure the intensity of pain and is graded on a horizontal line, with one end starting from 0 and the other end ending at 10. The patient is asked to mark a point on this line that corresponds to the intensity of pain he feels. The numerical value marked by the patient indicates the severity of pain. A VAS value of 0 indicates no pain, 1-3 indicates mild pain, 4-6 indicates moderate pain, 7-9 indicates severe pain, and 10 indicates unbearable pain. |
| State Anxiety Inventory | It will be used for 10 months, which is the data collection period. It will be used before and ten minutes after intrauterine device application. | State anxiety inventory; It is a scale consisting of 20 questions that include the options of (1) not at all, (2) a little, (3) quite a bit, (4) completely, depending on the severity of the emotions at that moment, so that the individual can describe how he feels at a certain moment. Accordingly, the total score obtained from the scale can vary between 20 and 80. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of anxiety. |
