Effectiveness of the emotional freedom techniques to reducing stress in diabetic patients

Abstract

The research aimed to recognize the EFT effect on the stress reduction of diabetes mellitus patients. The Research used a quasi-experimental design non-randomization pre-test – post-test group design. The ‘t’ value for stress level before EFT was performed with a p-value of 0,000 and for stress level after EFT p-value was 0,000. From the statistic, it was concluded that there was a significant EFT effect on stress reduction in patients with diabetes mellitus. The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) including the mind-body therapy relaxation technique was an integrated system between energy medicine and EFT therapy using a tapping method on body meridian points. EFT therapy firmly helped the patients to manage their minds from emotional pressure (negative energy) therefore it helped patients with stress. It helped all patients mainly patients with diabetes mellitus.

effect of prehabilitation program regarding compression therapy on post-surgical swelling and pain among patients with total knee arthroplasty

“…DR can be prevented with proper screening and treatment for diabetes. [10] Strict glycemic control, early detection and proper treatment are the keys to stopping the progression of the disease [6], [32], [35], [42]. Therefore, the current study was aimed to assess the awareness and KAP of DR patients with T2D in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.…”

“…Egypt ranked ninth and Saudi Arabia ranked seventh in the top 10 countries among the people with 20-79 year old [5], [11], [19], [24], [31] [32] Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is considered one of the most common and serious complications of DM, is the fifth most common cause of visual impairment in the world, and the 4 th most common cause of blindness [33], [8]. As a result of DR, productivity may decrease, quality of life may deteriorate, and socio-economic burden may increase [31], [34], [35].…”

An evaluation of lipid profile in patients with metabolic syndrome at a tertiary care teaching hospital based in Tamilnadu

“…ATP III considered the obesity epidemic is mainly responsible for the rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Obesity contributes to hypertension, high serum cholesterol, low HDL, and hyperglycaemia and it is otherwise associated with high cardiovascular disease risk [12,13] Women tend to have fewer cardiovascular events, the populationattributable risk for hypertension is higher for women than men due to their longer life expectancy and the rise in the incidence of hypertension with age. [14] Advancing age affects all levels of pathogenesis which likely explains why the prevalence of MS increases with age.…”

Assessment of risks with acute ischemic stroke in association with CRP levels

“…After the crisis, the capacity of the patient's sera to precipitate with polysaccharide (CPS) rapidly disappeared, and the C-reactive material was not found in sera from normal healthy individuals. [14] Avery and his collaborators characterised the C-reactive material as a protein which required calcium ions for its reaction with CPS and introduced the term 'acute phase' to refer to serum from patients acutely ill with infectious diseases and containing the C-reactive protein. Lofstorm independently described a non-specific capsular swelling reactions of some strains of pneumococci when mixed with acute phase sera and subsequently showed that the substance responsible was CRP.…”

“…It has been reported that concentrations of C-reactive protein is directly correlated with the presence and severity of atherosclerosis and are predictors of coronary events and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Recently CRP was shown to be a risk predictor for future myocardial infarction, stroke and coronary heart disease death in apparently healthy individuals [14,15]. This potential predictive capacity of CRP warrants further evaluation…”
