This study tested how well Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) works to reduce stress and anxiety in female university students living in hostels. Eighty students were randomly divided into two groups: one received EFT therapy for 4 weeks, and the other did not. Stress and anxiety were measured before and after using standard scales. The group that received EFT showed a significant reduction in stress and anxiety compared to the control group. This suggests EFT is an effective way to help manage mental health problems in this group.
