简要总结
This study aims to investigate the effect of Reiki applied to individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment on hemodialysis-related symptoms and hematological indicators.
详细描述
The study has a pretest-posttest randomized controlled design and it was carried out between March and July 2022 with 64 patients over the age of 18 who received hemodialysis treatment for at least 15 days in the dialysis unit of state hospitals in two different cities. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, the Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), and the follow-up chart including erythrocyte (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), serum urea, creatinine, sodium (Na), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and calcium (Ca) values. While the distance Reiki intervention was applied to each of the patients in the Reiki group for 60 minutes, no intervention was made in the control group. One week after the intervention, the DSI was re-administered to the patients in the posttest, and hematology and biochemistry results were recorded.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline Dialysis Symptom Index at a week
时间窗: Within 1 hour of first admission. -A week later
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.
