摘要

情绪释放技巧（EFT）是一种结合了东方经络针灸和西方心理学的自愈方法。本荟萃分析评估了EFT在减少癌症患者焦虑、抑郁和预期悲伤症状方面的疗效。方法对截至2024年5月的Cochrane Library、Embase、PubMed、Web of Science、b谷歌Scholar、CBM、微普、中国知网、万方等9个数据库进行综合检索。我们纳入了关注EFT对癌症患者心理症状和幸福感影响的随机对照试验（rct）。使用RevMan 5.3软件对符合条件的随机对照试验进行筛选、质量评估和分析。结果1026篇文献中，10篇rct符合纳入标准，共纳入774例患者（EFT组388例，对照组386例）。EFT减轻抑郁症状(MD = - 7.41, 95% CI [- 9.32, - 5.51], P <；措施)和焦虑(MD =−7.92,95%可信区间(−11.01−4.83),P & lt;措施)。对于预期悲伤，EFT改善了与悲伤、愤怒、死亡态度、躯体症状、宗教安慰和感知社会支持相关的症状，但对疾病适应、自我意识或心理困扰没有影响。EFT还能改善睡眠质量(MD = - 1.96, 95% CI [- 2.80, - 1.13], P <；措施)。结论eft可以显著缓解癌症患者的焦虑、抑郁、预期悲伤的某些方面以及睡眠问题，但在心理困扰、疾病适应和自我意识方面的效果有限。进一步的研究应规范结果，以验证EFT的综合效益。

The impact of emotional freedom techniques on anxiety, depression, and anticipatory grief in people with cancer: A meta-analysis and systematic review

Objective

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a self-healing method that combines Eastern meridian acupuncture and Western psychology. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of EFT in reducing anxiety, depression, and anticipatory grief symptoms in people with cancer.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted across nine databases, including Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CBM, WeiPu, CNKI, and WanFang, up to May 2024. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focused on EFT's effects on psychological symptoms and well-being in people with cancer. Eligible RCTs were screened, quality-assessed, and analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.

Results

From 1026 articles, ten RCTs met the inclusion criteria, involving 774 patients (388 in the EFT group and 386 in the control group). EFT reduced symptoms of depression (MD = −7.41, 95 % CI [−9.32, −5.51], P < .001) and anxiety (MD = −7.92, 95 % CI [−11.01, −4.83], P < .001). For anticipatory grief, EFT improved symptoms related to sadness, anger, death attitude, somatic symptoms, religious comfort, and perceived social support, but did not affect disease adjustment, self-awareness, or psychological distress. EFT also improved sleep quality (MD = −1.96, 95 % CI [−2.80, −1.13], P < .001).

Conclusion

EFT significantly alleviates anxiety, depression, and certain aspects of anticipatory grief, as well as sleep issues in people with cancer, though it shows limited efficacy in psychological distress, disease adjustment, and self-awareness. Further research should standardize outcomes to verify EFT's comprehensive benefits.
