Pengaruh Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) terhadap Tingkat Nyeri pada Pasien Post Operasi Sectio Caesarea di Ruang Nifas RSUI Harapan Anda Tegal

Abstract

Caesarean section delivery has side effects such as severe pain at the surgical site. Therefore, a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments is needed to reduce the patient's pain perception and shorten the recovery period. Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) therapy, as a non-pharmacological approach, offers benefits in pain management. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) on pain in post-cesarean section patients in the postpartum ward of Harapan Anda Hospital, Tegal City. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 53 post-cesarean section patients using a non-random sampling technique. The instruments used were the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and observation sheets. Data analysis used Wilxocon. The characteristics of 53 post-Cesarean section patients were mostly elderly aged 20-35 years (62.3%), some with high school education (54.7%), with unemployed status (60.4%), with gravida multigravida status (66%), and with a history of cesarean delivery (52.8%). Before the application of the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT), most experienced moderate pain levels (49.1%), and after the application of the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT), most experienced mild pain levels (47.2%). There is an effect of the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) on pain in post-Cesarean section patients in the Postpartum Ward of RSUI Harapan Anda, Tegal City (0.000).
