简要总结
The practice of Reiki and back massage applications in support of pharmacological treatment is among the nursing initiatives and these practices increase the autonomy of the profession. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Reiki and back massage on pain, analgesic use and vital signs in women who had undergone open abdominal hysterectomy. This was an experimental study with a single, blinded, pretest-posttest control group. The population of the study consisted of women who had abdominal hysterectomy in the Obstetrics Clinics at Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital and Dicle University Hospital between July 2017 and February 2018. The patients were divided into three groups: Reiki, back massage and control, with 34 patients in each group. Reiki or back massage were applied for 20 minutes once a day to the patients in the Reiki and back massage groups.
