Effect of Reiki therapy on quality of life among adolescents.
Adolescents with cancer face numerous challenges that impair their quality of life (QoL), including physical discomfort, emotional stress and disruptions to normal development. Therefore, it is of interest to study the impact of Reiki therapy on QoL among adolescents aged 13-17 years with cancer in Gujarat, India. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was employed with 92 participants, equally divided into experimental and control groups. Quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-100 tool. Post-intervention results demonstrated a significant improvement in the experimental group's QoL (Mean difference = 13.9, p < 0.001), while the control group showed minimal change. Thus, the potential of Reiki therapy as an effective intervention to enhance the QoL of adolescents undergoing cancer treatment is highlighted.
