Abstract

Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) is a psychotherapeutic intervention that integrates spirituality, psychology, and energy-based techniques to reduce emotional distress. Anxiety in preoperative caesarean section mothers is a common psychological problem that may affect physiological stability and surgical outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effect of SEFT on anxiety levels among pre-caesarean section mothers in the obstetric ward of Bhayangkara Hospital Level III Ambon. This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 15 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels after SEFT intervention (p = 0.001). These findings indicate that SEFT is effective in reducing preoperative anxiety and can be considered as a complementary nursing intervention.
