Abstract
Objective
The present study was conducted in order to determine the effects of Reiki on the menopausal symptoms of women.
Methods
This study having a randomized controlled experimental design was carried out involving 48 individuals (24 in Reiki, 24 in control). Study data were collected between November 2018 and February 2019 by using a personal information form, The Menopause Rating Scale.
Results
The mean menopausal symptoms score of women decreased after Reiki intervention and the difference was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). Reiki reduced the menopausal symptoms levels of women having menopause.
Conclusion
It has been found that distant Reiki application is effective in reducing somatic, psychological and urogenital complaints in women during menopause.
