The Effect of Emotional Freedom Techniques for Reducing Anxiety in Open Wound Patients: Literature Review

Summary: This literature review examines the use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as an intervention to reduce anxiety in patients with open wounds. The findings suggest that EFT is effective in decreasing anxiety levels, providing a non-invasive and accessible method to enhance emotional well-being during recovery. Further research is recommended to validate EFT's efficacy in clinical settings.
