Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in reducing psychological distress in healthcare workers. The research, which included 217 participants attending six professional conferences, found significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD after a 2-hour EFT intervention. These gains were maintained at follow-up for most participants. The study suggests EFT can provide immediate and sustained benefits for healthcare workers' mental health.
