The Effect of Reiki and Emotional Release Technique (EFT) on Symptom Burden, Disease Adaptation, Vital Signs and Catheter-Related Pain in Haemodialysis Patients:Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of reiki and emotional release technique (EFT) on symptom burden, disease adaptation, vital signs and catheter-related pain in haemodialysis patients.
Method: The study was conducted as a pretest-posttest randomised controlled experimental research model. The study was conducted in two haemodialysis units in Bingöl province between September 2023 and December 2024. The population of the study consisted of all patients receiving treatment in haemodialysis units, and the sample consisted of 96 patients (Reiki group =32, EFT group =32 and control group =32 people) determined by power analysis. "Dialysis symptom index", " Tee end-stage renal failure adjustment scale", "Vital signs follow-up form" and "Visual analogue scale" were used for data collection.
