简要总结
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, multisystemic, progressive autoimmune disease characterized by joint destruction in synovial tissue, causing joint swelling, pain and morning stiffness. It is estimated to affect 0.1%-2% of the world's adult population and more women than men. RA limits individuals' work, social, and home lives and functional capacities. Patients commonly experience pain and accompanying sleep problems. Interventions for these problems and symptom management are important. In this regard, this study was planned to examine the effect of distant reiki application on pain, functional status and sleep quality in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Distant Reiki application changes the functional status in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Health Assessment Survey will be used to evaluate the functional status of patients in rheumatic diseases.
时间窗: 6 weeks
Functional status will be assessed using the Health Assessment Survey as a pre-test and 6 weeks later as a post-test. (Distant Reiki will be applied for 30 minutes twice a week for 6 weeks).
Distant Reiki application changes the level of pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
时间窗: 6 weeks
Pain level will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale as a pre-test before starting the distant reiki application and 6 weeks later as a post-test. (Distant Reiki will be applied for 30 minutes twice a week for 6 weeks).
Distant Reiki application changes sleep quality in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
时间窗: 6 weeks
Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index as a pre- test and 6 weeks later as a post-test test. (Distant Reiki will be applied for 30 minutes twice a week for 6 weeks).
