Abstract
Reiki has been used for various medical problems. The present study aims to determine the effects of Reiki therapy on the self-efficacy, death anxiety, and sleep quality of patients diagnosed with COPD. The present used a quasi-experimental model with a pretest-posttest control group. The subjects (n=75) were recruited from a hospital in Turkey, between February and June 2019. Subjects were then assigned to Reiki (n=39) and placebo (n=36) groups. In this study, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of self-efficacy, death anxiety, and sleep quality between the Reiki and placebo groups (P <.05).These results suggest that Reiki exercise increased the self-efficacy and sleep quality levels and decreased the death anxiety.
