Brief Summary

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

This study aims to investigate the effect of Reiki applied to individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment on hemodialysis-related symptoms and hematological indicators.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study has a pretest-posttest randomized controlled design and it was carried out between March and July 2022 with 64 patients over the age of 18 who received hemodialysis treatment for at least 15 days in the dialysis unit of state hospitals in two different cities. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, the Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), and the follow-up chart including erythrocyte (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), serum urea, creatinine, sodium (Na), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and calcium (Ca) values. While the distance Reiki intervention was applied to each of the patients in the Reiki group for 60 minutes, no intervention was made in the control group. One week after the intervention, the DSI was re-administered to the patients in the posttest, and hematology and biochemistry results were recorded.

Study Groups

Reiki

The participants in the Reiki group (n=32) were given Reiki remotely for 60 minutes by two certified practitioners who completed the second level Reiki training with a Master degree Reiki instructor according to the Usui method.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Reiki

Intervention Type OTHER

Reiki, one of integrative practices, is an energy therapy involving the use of energy that flows naturally from the hands of the practitioner to strengthen the body's ability to heal itself in order to increase well-being. Reiki improves well-being in many areas, ensures that blood and lymph circulation is maintained properly, regulates blood pressure and pulse rate by stimulating the autonomic nervous system, increases comfort, reduces depression and anxiety levels. In this way, Reiki facilitates physical and mental relaxation and promotes health

Control

No intervention was made in the control group (n=32).
