Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effects of Reiki on wellbeing, maternal attachment, and the severity of postpartum physical symptoms in women with risky pregnancies. Method: This prospective, single-blinded randomized controlled study included 54 pregnant women assigned to either a Reiki group or a control group with no intervention. The Reiki group received eight Reiki sessions, starting in the third trimester and continuing until the sixth week postpartum. Data were collected using the "Descriptive Information Form," "Holistic Well-being Scale," "Maternal Attachment Scale," and "Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale." Findings: A statistically significant difference was observed in the post-test scores of the Holistic Well-being Scale (MD: -50.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [-61.92, -39.25]) and the Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale (MD: 13.74; 95% CI: [11.06, 16.41]). However, no significant difference was found in the Maternal Attachment Scale scores (MD: -2.51; 95% CI: [-6.89, 1.86]). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that Reiki applications that overlap with holistic nursing practices have the potential to improve wellbeing in risky pregnancies and alleviate postpartum physical symptoms. By promoting energy balance, Reiki may positively impact both psychological and physical wellbeing.

灵气对危险妊娠妇女的健康、产后身体症状严重程度和母亲依恋的影响:一项随机对照试验。
目的:本研究旨在评估灵气对危险妊娠妇女的健康、母亲依恋和产后身体症状严重程度的影响。方法:这项前瞻性、单盲、随机对照研究包括54名孕妇,分为灵气组和对照组,不进行干预。灵气组接受了八次灵气治疗,从妊娠晚期开始,一直持续到产后第六周。采用“描述性信息表”、“整体幸福感量表”、“母亲依恋量表”和“产后身体症状严重程度量表”收集数据。结果:整体幸福感量表(MD: -50.59, 95%可信区间[CI]:[-61.92, -39.25])和产后身体症状严重程度量表(MD: 13.74, 95% CI:[11.06, 16.41])的测试后得分差异有统计学意义。然而,在母亲依恋量表得分上没有发现显著差异(MD: -2.51; 95% CI:[-6.89, 1.86])。结论:本研究表明,灵气应用与整体护理实践重叠,有可能改善危险怀孕的健康状况,缓解产后身体症状。通过促进能量平衡,灵气可以对心理和身体健康产生积极影响。

期刊介绍: Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
