“…Common forms of energy healing today are Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, and Reiki (Anderson, Anselme & Hart, 2017;Krieger, 1993;Krieger, 2021;Levin, 2011;Quest, 2016;Wardell, Kagel & Anselme, 2014). Substantial research details the benefits of energy healing, including increased relaxation, pain reduction, and overall improved well-being (Gronowicz et al, 2008;Gronowicz et al, 2015;MacIntyre et al, 2008;Post-White et al, 2003;Richeson et al, 2010;Shiah et al, 2021;Swengros et al, 2014;Thomaz de Souza et al, 2017;Yount et al, 2021). Some research directly relates to those living in long-term care and/or living with dementia (Woods et al, 2009;Yücel, Arslan & Bagci, 2020).…”

Context: Residents experiencing pain, anxiety, and distressing behaviours, often in conjunction with mental health diagnoses and dementia, can be challenging for staff in long-term care facilities and may result in jeopardising resident and staff safety, quality of life, staff delivery of care, and overuse of psychotropic medications.Objective: Describe the effects of three holistic interventions (hand portion of the 'M' Technique®, aromatherapy, and energy healing) to reduce pain, anxiety, and distressing behaviours in long-term care residents.Method: Pragmatic secondary analysis of pre-and post-intervention quantitative and qualitative data.Findings: Staff administered a total of 363 individual sessions using the 'M' Technique® for hands, aromatherapy, and/or energy healing to 75 residents who were able to indicate their pain and/or anxiety levels before and after a session. Results indicate significant differences in decreased pain by session, decreased anxiety by session, decreased pain by person, and decreased anxiety by person. Qualitative results, primarily gathered from an additional 1,024 sessions in which residents were unable to use pain and anxiety scales, indicate a decrease in distressing behaviours and overall improvement of milieu. Limitations:We collected data as part of a quality improvement programme without the intent of being published as a research study. It is difficult to assess the reliability and validity of self-reported quantitative pain and anxiety scales for people with dementia.Implications: Holistic interventions, including the 'M' Technique for hands, aromatherapy, and/or energy healing, show promise in reducing pain, anxiety, and distressing behaviours in residents of long-term care facilities, along with improvements in the facilities' environment.

“…Estudos experimentais in vivo com a participação de alunos de graduação se destacam no meio científico, dentre eles a investigação sobre os efeitos do consumo crônico de etanol na biomecânica e no reparo ósseo (HORVATH et al, 2011;GARCIA et al, 2015), os efeitos do toque terapêutico na aceleração da cicatrização da pele (SOUZA et al, 2017) e os efeitos do própolis na cicatrização da pele (PAIXÃO et al, 2014).…”

A pesquisa científica é o alicerce para a evolução do conhecimento humano. Este estudo tem como objetivo descrever a experiência acadêmica na iniciação científica por meio da pesquisa experimental in vivo. A iniciação científica foi desenvolvida com o uso de terapias alternativas no tratamento da cicatrização da pele em ratos. O público-alvo envolveu alunos dos cursos de bacharelado em Enfermagem, Farmácia e Biologia. Durante a iniciação científica, os alunos participaram da leitura crítica de artigos científicos, da redação do projeto de pesquisa, do desenvolvimento experimental, de protocolos experimentais e de eventos científicos. A experiência resultou para o aluno no avanço na fronteira do conhecimento sobre as ciências básicas e no uso de modelos animais na pesquisa experimental. Contudo, a obtenção de recursos financeiros e humanos representou um obstáculo durante a condução das atividades. Conclui-se que a iniciação científica agrega valores essenciais na formação acadêmica, principalmente no que se refere à capacidade de tomada de decisão e de raciocínio crítico. Além disso, para o contexto deste relato resultou no maior interesse e na procura pela pesquisa científica.
