Brief Summary:
The treatment and care of chronic kidney failure is a long-term process, and patients are significantly affected by this condition. The fact that patients spend much of their daily lives attending hemodialysis sessions two or three times a week considerably limits their life activities. dition to medical treatment, a non-pharmacological Therefore, individuals may become partially or completely dependent. Coping with various symptoms brought on by this chronic disease, adapting to the restrictions required by treatment, preventing complications, and improving quality of life also bring about physical, cognitive, and psychological challenges. Patients are aware that they can only regain their previous health through organ transplantation; however, since it is uncertain when a suitable donor will be found, they may experience intense feelings of hopelessness. The chronic illness itself and the hemodialysis sessions frequently lead to symptoms such as pain and fatigue. In admethod such as distant Reiki may be supportive in coping with symptoms like hopelessness, fatigue, and pain. Numerous evidence-based studies in the literature have demonstrated that distant Reiki practices support symptom management in many chronic diseases through their effects on the parasympathetic nervous system. However, the effects of distant Reiki on hopelessness, fatigue, and pain in individuals awaiting organ donation have not yet been investigated.
Detailed Description:
Therefore, this study is planned to be conducted as a randomized controlled trial with two groups. Fifty patients awaiting organ donation who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Data will be collected using the "Personal Information Form," "Beck Hopelessness Scale," "Fatigue Severity Scale," and "Brief Pain Inventory." Analyses will be performed using an appropriate statistical software package. We believe that distant Reiki practices may have positive effects on hopelessness, fatigue, and pain among hemodialysis patients awaiting organ donation. It is known that the majority of nurses worldwide hold Reiki practice certifications and use this method in chronic diseases. The main aim of this study is to support symptom management and strengthen coping mechanisms in individuals through distant Reiki practices.
