Brief summary
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.
Detailed 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.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| kinesiophobia level | 20 minutes | It is a scale that measures movement restriction. As a result of the survey, the person receives a total score between 17-68 according to the answers they give. A high score on the scale indicates that the person has a high level of kinesiophobia. Those with a score above 37 are grouped as high level kinesiophobia, those with a score of 37 and below are grouped as low level kinesiophobia |
| pressure ulcer risk | 20 minutes | The Braden Scale was developed in 1987 by Nancy Bergstrom, Barbara J. Braden and their colleagues for the early diagnosis of patients at risk of pressure ulcers. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 6, and the highest score is 23. Patients who receive 12 points or less from the scale are considered high risk, 13-14 points are considered risky, 15-16 points are considered low risk, and 15-18 points are considered low risk in patients over the age of 75 |
