Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to know the repercussions of a Reiki intervention on the well-being and self-reported health of nursing professionals.

Method:

this is a study with quasi-experiment characteristics, of before and after type, through intervention with Reiki, carried out with 14 nursing professionals from a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected between September 2019 and March 2020, through an audio-recorded interview, guided by the Roda da Vida instrument, whose graphic representation is a circumference, divided into 12 parts referring to different aspects of life, grouped into four quadrants: mental, emotional, practical and spiritual.

Results:

before intervention, there was a greater commitment in the emotional aspect, which remained after, but with a significant increase in the assigned score, indicating an improvement in satisfaction. Only one participant showed no increase in the score. The reflections showed that the professionals were dissatisfied and oblivious to their own lives in the four aspects evaluated and recognized that this impacted their health condition. After intervention, they showed positive repercussions and a new perspective of looking at life.

Conclusion:

the Reiki intervention promoted improvement in the self-reported health and general well-being of nursing professionals, characterized by contributions to mental, practical, emotional and spiritual issues.

Wheel of Life aspects
Mental	Before	After
	Sleeping chrysalis: (un)comfortable cocoon	In the light of Reiki: boosting the awakening of the butterfly
	Peer group, hobbies and personal development
	I only relate to the same workgroups; I have no other groups (P11). I’m in such a tiring moment that I can’t even look at myself, I’m after my husband’s things (who had just suffered a serious accident), physiotherapy, doctor, exams [...] today, I left him at home and ran out to come here [...], then there’s work and a teenage daughter (P1). I do nothing for myself, I have tried to do meditation, but it is not continuous, I start and stop, I go back and forth [...] there are times that I cheer up, then I feel discouraged I have this thought of taking care of myself, losing weight, but soon I stop, and we know we need to, but the problem is to keep going, the action, right [laughs], is no use only knowing [silence] self-esteem needed to be improved (P5).	I am relating to those who have the same perceptions as me [...] so I avoid conflicts [...] I mean, I don’t get closer to the person who will take me down (P11). I started going hiking, 2 or 3 times a week, I started going (P1). I improved this hobby issue [...] I’m doing things more at home, for the family, taking care of my daughters more [...], doing more activities with everyone here from home (P12). I’m looking to take a walk, [...] I realize we need the action (P5).
Social contribution, family and friends, romance
Emotional
Emotional	It’s bad [...] I volunteer at the Women’s Network [...], but I’m very relapse (P6). I was a catechist many years ago [...], but people talked too much, judged, I ended up being disappointed with the church [...] I never came back (P14). It will not help talking [...] a lot of fighting, a lot of discussion at home, [...] my father fights too much with my sister, and she gets bad emotionally (P3). I’ve been very disappointed [...] with the father of my children [sad and thoughtful], I had been dating for three years, it was a blow to break up, I even thought about seeking psychological help, but I always put off, really hard, it’s been six months, I still haven’t recovered, I feel sad, vulnerable, I’ve never talked about it, [embarrassed] (P14).	I am like before, [...] no time to help (P6). I understand many ways to help, even my work is a way to help (P14). You know, until my mother realized, she said it’s good that we’re trying to get along better with our father, trying to improve as sisters also (P3). I’m starting a relationship, this phase of getting to know each other, some things, we understand each other, others, no, so it’s the sixth, but I’m a little calmer (P14). For me, romance with me, 10, and partner, zero. because I just split up [laughs] (P11).

Wheel of Life aspects
Practical	Before	After
	Work and career, health and well-being and money
	It ends up being too much for us [...] for me, I carry the suffering of service with me a lot; the other day, I was in so much pain, I had to take a lot of medication, I fainted, I fibrillated in the emergency room, I had to be assisted [intense crying, almost convulsive], I already worked with a broken foot, 30 days with the boot and working non-stop. I have thought many times: - Why don’t I leave all this here? I have children to raise, that’s why I don’t drop [too much crying, uncontrollable] (P3). Here there is not much perspective [...] I took a breastfeeding course [...] but the demand is so high, I can’t even put into practice so much I’ve learned, you know [...head down], so much investment, everything I’ve learned, everything I could do to improve, I don’t see that this will change (P14). With regard to money, I am compulsive buyer, I buy everything [...] I run, so I buy a lot of racing stuff [emphasis], a lot (P4).	I can only do what I can, you know, [...] if you have problems that do not belong to me [...] I learned not to lose sleep and not to fight about it, I realized that I am the annoying person in the emergency room that solves everything [...] I managed to get out a little and see, I can see that I won’t do the work that people have to do, I don’t think it’s fair to overload myself anymore (P3). I am with a more optimistic view of work [...] I came to realize that I created expectations that did not work, so I was shaken by it [...] but now I realize that there are things that can be done and gradually I am performing [...] I realize that I am more committed to work, I made a commitment to me to do better [...] (P14). It improved a lot, I did the dynamics, today I realize what is important in life (P4).
Meaning of life, life purpose, personal leadership
Spiritual
Spiritual	I take it from work to home from home to work, and I don’t see any expectations of change today... [long silence, followed by intense crying]. I don’t see anything I can do to change. The only thing I think of today is that I have to make my daughter happy (P1). I feel sucked by society, you know [...], everything is me, or the family does not work. I feel like I need to work hard to finish what I start; I feel disorganized and it takes a lot of time and my peace (P11).	I improved in this perspective of life, because I had already had to look at life [...] I was only surviving every day. I am looking to look to the future [...] and here [...] here is my moment of health, well-being [...], here is my moment. Here I realized that I can resume living, it gave me a moment to stop to think, [...], think of me, do something for me (P1). I feel that I have more awareness of myself, of my feelings [...] you know, for instance, in the heat of an argument, I can put myself, reflect and control myself better, today, I realize and know that I am well controlled. I realize that I am humbler, I do not question what happens to me anymore, before I would be like: - Why me? Why with me? Now, I seek to take learning [...] I feel that I have more love for life now, [...] it feels like I’m learning to live, with a new look at everything, even for suffering (P11).
