Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Renal Dialysis

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from baseline Dialysis Symptom Index at a week

  The Dialysis Symptom Index was used to investigate the therapeutic effect of Reiki on hemodialysis-related symptoms. The index consists of 30 items to evaluate physical and emotional symptoms and the severity of these symptoms. Participants are asked to define the presence of each symptom they experienced in the last week as Yes or No, and they are also report how much symptoms they experience affect them on a five-point Likert type scale (1 = not at all bothersome, 5 = very much bothersome). The lowest score to be obtained from the index is 0, the highest score is 150, and higher scores indicate more dialysis symptoms. In order to reach the Primary Outcome Measure, it was aimed that the Dialysis Symptom Index total scores of the individuals in the intervention group were lower in the final measurement than in the first measurement.

  Within 1 hour of first admission. -A week later

Interventions

Reiki 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
