The Effect of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to the Self Esteem Among Nurses

Summary: This study investigated the effect of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) on self-esteem in nurses. 115 participants received EFT training, and their self-esteem was measured before and after the intervention using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.

The results showed that EFT was effective in increasing self-esteem, with a significant difference found between pre- and post-intervention scores. The study suggests that EFT may be a useful complementary therapy for improving mental health and self-esteem in nurses.
