Reiki training for caregivers of hospitalized pediatric patients: a pilot program. 針對住院兒科患者的照顧者的靈氣培訓:試點項目。 Abstract To explore the feasibility of a Reiki therapy-training program for the caregivers of pediatric medical or oncology inpatients, at a large pediatric hospital, a series of Reiki training classes were offered by a Reiki Master. At completion of the training, an interview was conducted to elicit participant's feedback regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of the training program. Seventeen of the 18 families agreed to participate. Most families (65%) attended three Reiki training sessions, reporting that Reiki benefitted their child by improving their comfort (76%), providing relaxation (88%), and pain relief (41%). All caregivers identified becoming an active participant in their child's care as a major gain from participation in the Reiki training. A hospital-based Reiki training program for caregivers of hospitalized pediatric patients is feasible and can positively impact patients and their families. More rigorous research regarding the benefits of Reiki in the pediatric population is needed. 摘要 為了探索在兒科醫院或腫瘤科住院醫師的靈氣療法培訓計劃的可行性,在一家大型兒科醫院,一個 靈氣師提供了一系列的靈氣培訓班。 培訓結束後,進行了一次採訪,以徵求參與者對培訓計劃的 有效性和可行性的反饋意見。 十八個家庭中的十七個同意參加。 大多數家庭(65%)參加了三次 靈氣培訓課程,報告說靈氣通過提高他們的舒適度(76%),提供放鬆(88%)和緩解疼痛(41%) 而使他們受益。 所有看護者都認為參加兒童護理是參與靈氣培訓的主要收穫。 醫院為基礎的靈氣 培訓計劃是可行的,並可以積極影響患者及其家屬。 需要對兒科人群中靈氣的好處進行更嚴格的 研究。 1. Introduction The hospitalization of a child is a stressful event for both the child and their family.1,2 Dealing with a chronic health condition requiring long-term or frequent hospitalization can heighten the stress response, resulting in negative emotional and psychological consequences for patients and families alike.3 An increase in pediatric hospitalization rates4 and the proportion of inpatient care associated with complex chronic conditions,5 has been reported over the past 15 years. With this increase in acuity and subsequent stress on families, clinical care providers seek new ways to address and support the multidisciplinary needs of chronically ill children and their caregivers, with the goal of making the hospitalization experience as positive as possible. 1.介紹 生孩子的住院治療對孩子和家庭來說都是一個壓力大的事件。 1,2 應對需要長期或頻繁住院的慢性健 康狀況會加重壓力反應,對患者和家庭造成負面的情緒和心理後果。 3 過去 15 年來,兒科住院率 4 和復雜慢性病相關的住院治療比例增加 5 。 隨著敏銳度的提高和隨後對家庭的壓力,臨床護理 人員尋求新的方法來解決和支持慢性病兒童及其護理人員的多學科需求,目的是盡可能使住院經驗 更為積極。 2.
