Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The Piper Fatigue Scale It is a 22-item scale that measures four subscales: behavior (6 items), affect (5 items), sensory (5 items), and cognition/mood (6 items). Each item has 11 response categories on a 0-10 metric with verbal descriptors anchoring the endpoints. Each subscale is scored individually and then aggregated together for an overall score, with higher scores reflecting more fatigue. At the end of Session 1(In the first week, the first session will be face-to-face and the other sessions will be online for 4 days. 1 online session will be given on the first day of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week. A total of 7 sessions of Reiki will begiven)

Primary Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) The PSQI is a valid and consistent survey comprising of 19 questions to assess quality and amount of sleep and the existence of a sleep disorder and its level in the previous month. The scale was adapted into the Turkish language by Agargün et al. (1996). The scale consists of seven components that assess patients subjective sleep quality, sleep delay, use of sleeping medication and disfunction in daily activities. Each item scores in the range 0-3 points and the total score of the seven components gives the total PSQI score. The total score has a value between 0-21 and a high total score demonstrates a poor quality of sleep. A total PSQI score which is =5 indicates "good sleep", and a score which is >5 indicates "poor sleep" At the end of Session 1(In the first week, the first session will be face-to-face and the other sessions will be online for 4 days. 1 online session will be given on the first day of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week.
