摘要
目的:评价灵气疗法对患者生活质量的影响。方法:本综述遵循标准的科学期刊实践,系统检索PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、Scopus和Cochrane Library,文献截止日期为2024年9月,以确定相关研究。纳入标准包括英文发表的文章,随机对照试验(RCT),灵气疗法作为自变量,不同的患者群体,以及关注生活质量改善的结果测量。结果:纳入661名14岁及以上的受试者,显示灵气治疗后生活质量显著提高(SMD = 0.28, 95% CI 0.01 ~ 0.56, P = 0.043)。亚组分析显示,频率≥8次、持续时间≥60 min和急性干预≤20 min的灵气治疗干预对改善生活质量最有效。结论:现有的荟萃分析和系统评价表明,灵气疗法对生活质量有积极的影响。因此,建议癌症患者、外科患者、慢性疾病患者和一般人群接受急性灵气治疗(≤20分钟)或足够频率(≥8次)和持续时间(≥60分钟)的灵气治疗以提高其生活质量。系统评审注册:系统评审注册:PROSPERO CRD 42023483961。
Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Purpose: This review aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life.
Methods: The review followed standard scientific journal practices and a systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, with a literature cutoff of September 2024, was conducted to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria comprised articles published in English, randomized controlled trials (RCT), Reiki therapy as the independent variable, diverse patient populations, and outcome measures focusing on quality of life improvement.
Results: The review involved 661 participants aged 14 years and above, showing a significant enhancement in quality of life post-Reiki therapy (SMD = 0.28, 95% CI 0.01 ~ 0.56, P = 0.043). The subgroup analysis showed that Reiki therapy interventions with a frequency of ≥ 8 sessions and a duration of ≥ 60 min and acute interventions of ≤ 20 min were most effective in improving quality of life.
Conclusions: The existing meta-analysis and systematic review suggested that Reiki therapy positively impacted quality of life. Therefore, it was recommended that patients with cancer, surgical patients, chronic illnesses, and the general population receive acute Reiki therapy sessions (≤ 20 min) or Reiki therapy with sufficient frequency (≥ 8 sessions) and duration (≥ 60 min) to enhance their quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
