ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a method designed to help reduce anxiety, can help nursing students feel less anxious before their first clinical experience. The study aims to see if using EFT can make a difference for first-year nursing students who are feeling nervous about starting their hands-on training in healthcare.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a first-year nursing student at BVU SBF Nursing program and have a score of 20 or higher on a specific anxiety test. You should not have any previous clinical experience and must agree to take part in the study. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, so it hasn't started yet. If you are eligible and decide to take part, you can expect to learn about EFT and how it may help you manage your anxiety as you begin your clinical training.
