Emotional Freedom Techniqueslistening music

Emotional Freedom Techniques: EFT is a structured psychological relaxation technique applied during the preoperative and postoperative periods for patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. Participants tap on specific acupressure points while focusing on their pain or anxiety, guided by a trained practitioner. Each session consists of at least 3 consecutive repetitions and lasts approximately 30-35 minutes. The intervention aims to reduce pain, anxiety, and fear of movement (kinesiophobia) associated with the surgical recovery process.

listening music: Participants will listen to any music of their choice during recovery sessions, guided by study personnel. Each session lasts approximately 30-35 minutes per sesession, during the preoperative and postoperative periods. This intervention is designed to alleviate pain, anxiety and fear of movement (kinesiphobia) associated with knee arthroscopy recovery.

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate whether listening to music and using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can help patients recover better after knee arthroscopy. After this type of surgery, many patients experience pain, fear of movement (kinesiophobia), balance problems, and an increased risk of falling.

In this study, patients will receive music listening and EFT as supportive, non-drug interventions during the postoperative period. The goal is to determine whether these simple and safe methods can reduce pain, decrease fear of movement, and lower fall risk, ultimately improving recovery.

The findings of this study may help healthcare professionals, especially nurses, provide more holistic and patient-centered care after knee surgery.
