Summary

Since all the follow-up and care of the pregnant during the prenatal period are carried out by the midwives, the care provided by the midwives to the women during the prenatal period plays a key role for the woman to have a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Midwives should take psychological approaches in order to reduce the negative feelings of women before cesarean section. Considering all these, it is thought that Emotional Freedom Technique, which does not require any invasive intervention, is inexpensive and easy to apply, will contribute to women's feeling better by reducing pre-cesarean anxiety, surgical fear and traumatic birth perception.
