Brief Summary:
Reiki touch therapy has been used for many years, especially on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters, and studies have been found to show that it is effective. In a systematic review conducted with Sectio patients, it was determined that reiki reduces pain. In a study conducted by Zare et al. with patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery, it was reported that reiki regulates the respiratory rate. It was determined that reiki applied to the incision area in patients undergoing abdominal surgery reduces pain. In a different study, it was emphasized that reiki applied to 90 women who gave birth by cesarean section in the experimental group on the 1st and 2nd days after surgery decreased pain and anxiety levels, analgesic requirement and respiratory rate after surgery compared to the control group, while there was no change in blood pressure and pulse. In a meta-analysis study including four studies consisting of 104 patients in the Reiki group and 108 patients in the control group, a statistically significant decrease in the pain score of the Reiki group was found. In a study conducted by Bremner and colleagues, it was determined that stress, anxiety and depression decreased in the Reiki group. In a study measuring the effect of Reiki use on pain, stress and anxiety levels in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery, significant decreases were found in pain, blood pressure, respiratory rate and anxiety levels in the Reiki group out of three groups that received Reiki, sham Reiki and standard care. In line with these studies, evidence-based data on the effectiveness of Reiki is thought to help nurses reduce patients' postoperative pain and anxiety, reduce the incidence of respiratory complications and help them evaluate and manage physiological parameters more accurately.
