The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of Reiki, Sham Reiki, and Progressive Relaxation Exercise on the levels of pain, anxiety, and stress in cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Question 1: The effect of Reiki applied to cancer patients on the level of pain within the time series is higher in favor of the intervention group. - Question 2: The effect of Reiki applied to cancer patients on the level of anxiety within the time series is higher in favor of the intervention group. - Question 3: The effect of Reiki applied to cancer patients on cortisol levels within the time series is higher in favor of the intervention group. - Question 4: The effect of Reiki applied to cancer patients on the level of stress within the time series is higher in favor of the intervention group. - Participants have answered the questions in the Individual Identification Form, Visual Comparison Scale, State Anxiety Scale and Perceived Stress Scale and serum cortisol levels were evaluated in the pretest. - Afterwards, the patients in the intervention group received Reiki for four consecutive days, the patients in the placebo group received Sham Reiki, and the patients in the control group received Progressive Relaxation Exercise. - The patients in the experimental group received Reiki to the seven chakra regions and additional areas with pain for a total duration of 25-30 minutes for four days, with an average of three minutes. - The patients in the placebo group received Sham Reiki to the seven chakra regions for a total duration of 25-30 minutes for four days, with an average of three minutes. - Progressive Relaxation Exercise (PRE) group patients received PRE for four days. - On the 4th day, pain and anxiety levels (0-10 Likert-type scale) of the patients were evaluated after the last applications. - On the 21st day, the day of the next chemotherapy cycle, pain and anxiety levels were evaluated, state anxiety scale and perceived stress scale were administered, and serum cortisol level was evaluated in the morning before the start of chemotherapy. - At the 3rd month follow-up, pain and anxiety levels (0-10 Likert-type scale), state anxiety scale and perceived stress scale were evaluated.
This study was conducted as randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of Therapeutic Touch on acute pain and comfort level in women who delivered by cesarean section. Personal information form was used as data collection form, VAS was used to assess pain, and PPCQ was used to assess comfort. When power analysis was performed, the sample size was calculated to be at least 45 participants for each group (45 experiments, 45 controls). Experimental group received deep Therapeutic Touch by investigators two time at 10th and 40nd hours after cesarean section.
The goal of this open label, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to assess the benefits of providing Reiki therapy to subjects receiving their first brachytherapy treatment for gynecological malignancies. Participants will either receive a session of Reiki therapy or usual care during the standard wait time between the placement of the brachytherapy device and brachytherapy treatment. Questionnaires will be administered at various time points on the day of the participant's first brachytherapy treatment as well as at the three month follow-up time point. Researchers will compare the intervention (Reiki therapy) and control (usual care) groups to assess the impact of the Reiki therapy on anxiety, pain, state anxiety, depression, and physiological measurements.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effects of Reiki applied to women in the postmenopausal period on menopausal symptoms and depression levels. Methodology:This randomized controlled study was conducted with postmenopausal women registered in a family health center in eastern Türkiye. The sample of the study consisted of 82 women, 41 in the Reiki group and 41 in the control group. While four sessions of Reiki were applied to the women in the Reiki group, once a week for 4 weeks, no intervention was applied to the control group. Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to collect data.
Background and Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of Reiki on sexual function and sexual self-confidence in women with sexual distress. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted with women between the ages of 15-49 years who were registered at a family health center in the eastern region of Turkey and had sexual distress. The sample of the study consisted of 106 women, 53 in the experimental group and 53 in the control group. Women in the experimental group received Reiki once a week for four weeks, while no intervention was applied to those in the control group. Data were collected using the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R), the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), and the Sexual Self-confidence Scale (SSS).
Aim: The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of therapeutic touch applied to infants with infantile colic at different times on infant colic scale score, crying and sleep duration, according to Watson's theory of human care. Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the development of an effective care approach in eliminating or reducing the symptoms in infants with infantile colic. Method: The study will be conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. The population of the study will be infants who come to the Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic and are diagnosed as infantile colic according to the evaluation of the pediatrician and have no other health problems. The infants will be divided into three groups as intervention (The first group; the group in which therapeutic touch was applied for one week and the second group; the group in which the therapeutic touch was applied for two weeks) and control groups according to stratified block randomization in the computer environment. After the randomization, therapeutic touch will be applied to the intervention group. No method will be applied to the control group.
This research was carried out to determine the effect of therapeutic touch on sleep quality and fatigue in menopausal women.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of therapeutic touch applied to infants with infantile colic on infant colic scale score, crying and sleep time. Method: The study will be conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. The population of the study will be infants who come to the Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic and are diagnosed as infantile colic according to the evaluation of the pediatrician and have no other health problems. The infants will be divided into two groups as intervention and control groups according to stratified block randomization in the computer environment. After the randomization, therapeutic touch will be applied to the intervention group. No method will be applied to the control group.
