Fatigue Clinical Trial - The Effect of Reiki on Fatigue & Comfort

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a single blind, randomized parallel controlled experimental study planned to determine the effect of distant reiki, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods, on fatigue and comfort level in hemodialysis patients. The hypothesis of the study is that distant reiki increases patients comfort and reduces fatigue.

Clinical Trial Description

Methods: In order to determine the sample size of the study, before starting the research, power analysis was performed by taking the information of the statistician and previous studies as a reference in order to determine the number of patients to be included in the reiki and control groups. As a result of the analysis performed by taking effect size 0.35, type 1 error 0.05, power 0.80 and correlation between repeated measurements 0.50, it is planned to study with a total of 46 patients, including at least 31 patients in each group. The remote reiki group will be given remote reiki 3 times a week for 4 weeks by the researcher who has a reiki application certificate. Remote reiki sessions will be performed by the reiki practitioner the night before the hemodialysis day of the patient, and the session duration will take approximately 36-40 minutes. After the individuals receive 12 sessions of remote reiki (1 month later), the questionnaire will be filled in for the second measurement. In order to determine whether reiki has an effect in the long term, 4 weeks (1 month) after the second measurement, the questionnaire for the third measurement will be completed and the research will be completed. Patients will receive routine treatment in accordance with the institution policy without any intervention in the control group. The control group will be filled in the questionnaire after the first measurement, in the 4th (1st month) and 8th (2nd month) weeks. At the end of the study, remote reiki sessions will be applied by the researcher, since the patients in the control group have equal ethical rights. The primary expected result of the study is the effect of distant reiki on fatigue in hemodialysis patients. The second expected result of the study is to determine the effect of distant reiki on comfort. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
