Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The research sample consisted of 74 individuals, including the intervention group (n=37) and the control group (n=37), who received hemodialysis treatment at Sivas Cumhuriyet University Application and Research Hospital Hemodialysis Unit, Sivas Numune Hospital Hemodialysis Unit and Private ONR Dialysis Center. The data of the study were collected using the Patient Description Form, the Patient Clinical Parameters Form (Some Treatment Data and Laboratory Results, Measurement of Pain Intensity), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire, Piper Fatigue Scale, and 5-D Itch Scale. A total of 10 sessions of reiki were applied to the patients in the intervention group twice a week for 5 weeks, lasting 40-45 minutes during dialysis. No treatment was applied to the control group. The scales were administered to the individuals in the intervention and control groups three times in total.
