Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Reiki applied to mothers whose children were treated in the hospital on the anxiety level.

Detailed Description

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

Hypotheses 01; there was no difference between the anxiety score of the reiki group and the anxiety score of the control group.

The study will be carried out in three different groups. The practice will start with meeting the women whose children were treated in the hospital. After the women are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the women who are eligible will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from the women who accept. The random distribution of women to the study groups will be carried out using the Block Randomization method. The following applications will be made to the groups.

Reiki Group The intervention will be applied to the reiki group to be applied in the hospital room. Reiki therapy will be applied by a practitioner with a Reiki application certificate in the application laboratory for 30 minutes while the participants lie down with their eyes closed. 4 sessions of reiki application will be applied to the intervention group for a week. Anxiety level after 4 sessions will be recorded.

Placebo Reiki will be applied to the participants in the group in the application hospital room. The practice will be carried out in the application laboratory for 30 minutes, with the participants sitting with their eyes closed. Reiki life energy will not be transferred to participants in the placebo reiki group. Since the participants' eyes are closed, they will not know that there is a transfer. Placebo Reiki application will be performed in the room 4 times during a week. Placebo application will start, and the first anxiety scores will be recorded. After 4 sessions, anxiety scores will be recorded.

control group; the first anxiety scores will be recorded. After a week later anxiety scores will be recorded.
