Abstract
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms experienced by cancer patients. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of reiki on fatigue symptoms of cancer patients. The databases "PubMed," "ScienceDirect," "Scopus," "Web of Science," and "Cochrane Library" were screened between July 12, 2023, and July 25, 2023, using the keywords "Reiki," "Fatigue," and "Cancer" without any restriction to the publication year. The selected studies were evaluated using the Jadad scale, a quality assessment checklist for randomized controlled trials. Among 794 studies initially found, 5 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the present systematic review. Of these studies, 2 were randomized controlled trials, 2 were quasi-experimental studies, and 1 was a cross-over study. It was found that reiki applied to cancer patients in the studies included in the systematic review reduced fatigue while being effective in pain and stress alleviation and improvement of quality of life.

Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
