Özet
Purpose: This study’s aim is to determine the effect of Reiki when applied before upper gastrointestinal
endoscopy on levels of anxiety, stress, and comfort.
Design: This single-blind, a pretest and post-test design, randomized, sham-controlled study was held
between February and July 2021.
Methods: Patients who met the inclusion criteria were separated by randomization into three groups: Reiki,
sham Reiki, and control. A total of 159 patients participated in the study. In the intervention groups (Reiki
and sham Reiki), Reiki and sham Reiki were applied once for approximately 20 to 25 minutes before gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Findings: When the Reiki group was compared to the sham Reiki and control groups following the intervention, the decrease in the levels of patient stress (P < .001) and anxiety (P < .001) and the increase in patient
comfort (P < .001) were found to be statistically significant.
Conclusions: Reiki applied to patients before upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was effective in reducing
stress and anxiety and in increasing comfort.
