Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a promising treatment for remission and complete recovery in cancer patients, the symptoms after transplantation seriously affect the quality of life of individuals. In addition to psychosocial problems, patients experience serious physical problems such as suppression of the immune system and fatigue after transplantation. Energy therapies are widely used to provide general health and well-being and to reduce or relieve the symptoms of many chronic diseases. As a result of many studies on conditions such as fatigue, pain, and anxiety, it has been determined that Reiki energy has a positive effect. When we searched the literature, it was seen that there were not enough studies examining the fatigue, vital signs, and immune systems of bone marrow transplant patients.
This randomized controlled prospective study is conducted with bone marrow transplant patients between August 2022 to February 2023. The data of the study will collect using "Personal Information Form (PIF)", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)", and "National Cancer Institute (NCI) -Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)". Also, vital signs and laboratory findings will be recorded.
PIF, VAS, and CTCAE will be applied to the patients who meet the inclusion criteria. Patients will be randomized 1:1 into groups to the block randomization method. There are two arms in the study; Reiki (n=21) and control group (n=21). A second-degree Reiki practitioner will apply Reiki to the patients for 30 minutes. on the second day and the third day, 30 minutes distance Reiki will be applied to the patients. In the control group, nothing will be done. Post-tests will be applied to all patients after one week and vital signs and laboratory findings will be recorded.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Reiki Group
Personal Information Form (PIF), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) -Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be administered to the patients. Then vital signs and laboratory findings will be recorded. After the protests will be completed, the primary investigator with Reiki second degree will apply Reiki to the patients for 30 minutes. On the second day and the third day, 30 minutes distance Reiki will be applied to the patients. Post-tests will be applied to all patients after one week and vital signs and laboratory findings will be recorded.
Reiki
Reiki has based on the belief that disease occurs when an energy center is blocked, and that the energy is transmitted through touch. In distance Reiki, Reiki practitioners followed the traditional Usui Reiki protocol healing.
Control Group
Personal Information Form (PIF), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) -Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be administered to the patients. Then vital signs and laboratory findings will be recorded. After a week, the posttest will be applied to the patients and vital signs and laboratory findings will be recorded.
