Introduction: Public Speaking Anxiety is one of the problems faced by nursing students when in class, clinical and community settings. Anxiety, tension, and depression can all be reduced using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). EFT is a scientifically validated method of treating anxiety that involves acupoint stimulation. The goal of this study was to see if EFT could help nursing students overcome their fear of public speaking. Methods: This was a quasi-ex- perimental study involving a pre-post test on one group. The sampling technique used total sampling. 87 nursing students from public speaking trainees in West Java and Banten joined this study. The Subjective Units of Distress Scale was used to assess public speaking anxiety. Paired t-test was used to assess the mean difference between pre and post-intervention. Results: EFT was helpful in lowering public speaking anxiety, with a substantial outcome (P value=0.000). Conclusion: Emotional freedom techniques can be an alternative to improve the soft skills of nurses, especially in public speaking and support the role of nurses as health educators.
