Abstract

Pandemi Covid-19 berdampak pada berbagai aspek, termasuk kesehatan mental khususnya pada orang yang terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19. Gangguan kesehatan mental yang muncul diantaranya kecemasan, depresi, ketakutan dan insomnia. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) terbukti dapat mengatasi gangguan kesehatan mental pada pasien yang menderita penyakit tertentu. Namun belum pernah diterapkan pada orang yang terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektifitas terapi EFT dalam menurunkan skor kecemasan, depresi, insomnia, dan ketakutan pada orang yang terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan quasy experimental design dengan rancangan one group pretest and posttest design tanpa kelompok kontrol. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sejumlah 22 orang yang terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19 dan melakukan isolasi di Unit Pelatihan Kesehatan (UPELKES) yang disediakan oleh pemerintah Kota Pontianak selama bulan Juni 2021. Analisa data menggunakan univariat dan bivariat (uji t berpasangan dengan CI 95%). Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan skor kecemasan, depresi, dan ketakutan pada orang yang terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19 antara sebelum dan setelah dilakukan intervensi terapi EFT (p-value < 0.05). sedangkan skor insomnia tidak mengalami penurunan signifikan, namun menunjukkan tren penurunan (p value > 0.05). Terapi EFT terbukti efektif menurunkan skor kecemasan, depresi, dan ketakutan pada orang yang terkonfirmasi positif sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai terapi alternatif dalam mengatasi gangguan kesehatan mental sebagai upaya mempercepat kesembuhan orang yang terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19.
