This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of Reiki and aromatherapy on vital signs, oxygen saturation, and anxiety level in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The sample consisted of 100 patients divided into Reiki (n = 34), aromatherapy (n = 33), and control (n = 33) groups. Data were collected 3 times (before, during, and after the procedure) using a descriptive characteristics questionnaire, a follow-up form, and the State Anxiety Subscale. The Reiki group had a mean State Anxiety Subscale score of 53.59 ± 2.98 and 43.94 ± 4.31 before and after the procedure, respectively. The aromatherapy group had a mean State Anxiety Subscale score of 54.03 ± 4.03 and 43.85 ± 3.91 before and after the procedure, respectively. The control group had a mean State Anxiety Subscale score of 38.79 ± 4.68 and 53.30 ± 7.26 before and after the procedure, respectively (P < .05). The results showed that the Reiki and aromatherapy groups had significantly lower State Anxiety Subscale scores than the control group after the procedure, indicating that Reiki and aromatherapy help reduce anxiety levels. There was a significant difference in the mean respiratory rates and oxygen saturation levels between the groups (P < .05). In conclusion, patients who do Reiki or undergo aromatherapy are less likely to experience anxiety before upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

“…Os autores observaram que os escores de estado ansioso antes e depois não variaram no grupo intervenção, mas aumentaram no grupo controle. (9) Embora este estudo tenha atingido a amostra calculada, sua limitação foi ter usado a escala Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado de Spielbergue, que considera fatores clínicos para definir ansiedade, é longa e nem sempre de fácil compreensão. Além disso, não ficou claro quantos dias antes da cirurgia a ansiedade foi medida, se esse período foi padronizado e se o estudo incluiu pacientes de diversas especialidades, aguardando cirurgias de diferentes portes.…”

“…No tocante à ansiedade perioperatória, há pesquisas que apresentam resultados significativos para sua diminuição ou controle pelo Reiki, mas não há estudos na cirurgia cardíaca. (6)(7)(8)(9) Nesta pesquisa, Reiki foi definido como o objeto de estudo, como uma intervenção não farmacológica para aliviar a ansiedade no período pré-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca. A pergunta norteadora desta pesquisa é a seguinte: Qual a efetividade do Reiki para reduzir a ansiedade de pacientes adultos e idosos no período pré--operatório de cirurgias cardíacas?…”

Conflitos de interesse: nada a declarar. ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar a efetividade de um protocolo de Reiki nos níveis de ansiedade no período pré-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca.Métodos: Ensaio clínico controlado e randomizado realizado em um hospital universitário de referência em cardiologia entre junho e dezembro de 2021. Foi realizada randomização em bloco e alocação por sorteio com envelopes selados opacos em dois grupos: Controle (n=44; não submetido a intervenção) e Intervenção (n=44; submetido a duas sessões de Reiki três dias antes e na véspera da cirurgia). Os desfechos principais (ansiedade, bem-estar e tensão muscular) foram avaliados ao longo das sessões usando um modelo de efeitos mistos. Para avaliar o tamanho do efeito foram calculados os valores parciais de eta quadrado (η²p).Resultados: Foram determinadas as diferenças nos escores de ansiedade (+2,7 pontos a mais para o controle), bem-estar (-0,78) e tensão muscular (1,27), sendo consideradas estatisticamente significativas (p<0,001). Na análise do tamanho do efeito, o experimento distinguiu melhor a variação na variável ansiedade (η²p=0,74) que nas outras duas variáveis (η²p=0,14; η²p=0,23).Conclusão: O estudo oferece evidência favorável para efetividade do Reiki no controle da ansiedade préoperatória de cirurgia cardíaca.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Reiki application on pain, anxiety, and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia. The study was completed with a total of 50 patients: 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. Reiki was applied to the experimental group and sham Reiki to the control group once a week for 4 weeks. Data were collected from the participants using the Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Short Form-36. There was a significant difference between the mean Visual Analog Scale pain scores during and before the first week (P = .012), second week (P = .002), and fourth week (P = .020) measurements of the individuals in the experimental and control groups, after application. In addition, at the end of the 4-week period, the State Anxiety Inventory (P = .005) and the Trait Anxiety Inventory (P = .003) were significantly decreased in the Reiki group compared with the control group. Physical function (P = .000), energy (P = .009), mental health (P = .018), and pain (P = .029) subdimension scores of quality of life in the Reiki group increased significantly compared with the control group. Reiki application to patients with fibromyalgia may have positive effects on reducing pain, improving quality of life, and reducing state and trait anxiety levels.
