REIKI APPLICATION PAIN, FATIGUE AND ITCHING IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
September 5, 2022 updated by: Esra Baser Akin, Cumhuriyet University
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF REIKI APPLICATION ON PAIN, FATIGUE AND ITCHING IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
The research sample consisted of 74 individuals, including the intervention group (n=37) and the control group (n=37), who received hemodialysis treatment at Sivas Cumhuriyet University Application and Research Hospital Hemodialysis Unit, Sivas Numune Hospital Hemodialysis Unit and Private ONR Dialysis Center.
The data of the study were collected using the Patient Description Form, the Patient Clinical Parameters Form (Some Treatment Data and Laboratory Results, Measurement of Pain Intensity), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire, Piper Fatigue Scale, and 5-D Itch Scale.
A total of 10 sessions of reiki were applied to the patients in the intervention group twice a week for 5 weeks, lasting 40-45 minutes during dialysis.
No treatment was applied to the control group.
The scales were administered to the individuals in the intervention and control groups three times in total.

Experimental: İntervention Group
A total of 10 sessions of reiki were applied to the patients in the intervention group twice a week for 5 weeks, lasting 40-45 minutes during dialysis.
The scales were administered to the individuals in the intervention groups three times in total.
|
The intervention group is the group in which reiki is applied.
They receives 3 sessions of hemodialysis per week.
|
No Intervention: Control Group
No treatment was applied to the control group.
The scales were administered to the individuals in the control groups three times in total.

Pain Status Visual Analog Scale Visual analog scale and A short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire
Time Frame: Pain assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the pain level of the patients were observed.

Scale; It contains the numbers "starting 0 (no pain)" and "10 (severe pain)" at the other end.

Pain Status A short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire Visual analog scale and A short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire
Time Frame: Pain assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the pain level of the patients were observed.
|
The McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire (MASF) was developed in 1971 by Melzack and Targerson.
It consists of three parts evaluating pain pattern, current pain index, and pain scale score.
|
Pain assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the pain level of the patients were observed.
|
Piper Fatigue Scale
Time Frame: Fatigue assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the fatigue level of the patients were observed.
|
The scale was developed by Piper et al. in 1998.
The scale, which subjectively evaluates the patient's fatigue in four dimensions, consists of 27 items in total.
The sub-dimensions of the scale, the behavior/violence sub-dimension (2-7 items); affect sub-dimension (items 8-12), which includes the emotional meaning of fatigue; it is the sensory sub-dimension (13-17 items) showing the physical, psychological and emotional symptoms of fatigue, and the cognitive/spiritual sub-dimension (18-23 items) showing the effect of fatigue on cognitive and mental state.
The total score is obtained by adding each item and dividing it by the number of items.
|
Fatigue assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the fatigue level of the patients were observed.
|
5-D Itch Scale
Time Frame: Itching assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the itching level of the patients were observed.
|
The 5-D Itch Scale was developed by Elman, Hyman, Gabriel and Mayo in 2010.
The scale consists of 5 dimensions and 8 variables as the duration, severity, course of itching, the area of restriction in activities of daily living and its distribution in the body.
The scale is scored between a minimum of 5 (no itching) and a maximum of 25 points.
|
Itching assessment was made at the first interview (basaline), in the second week of the reiki application, and in the fifth week of the reiki application. Changes in the itching level of the patients were observed.
