"The Effect of Reiki on Metabolic Parameters in Obese Type 2 Diabetes Patients''
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the loss of various organs and functions in the individual as a result of complications caused by diabetes affect the life expectancy and quality of individuals, and cause social and economic losses affecting the whole society. For this reason, the individual management of the diabetic patient is important in terms of ensuring effective participation and compliance in treatment and care. Patients must have knowledge, skills and positive attitudes in order to successfully comply with diabetes treatment. Patients are in compliance with diabetes treatment; they encounter some barriers such as medication barriers, barriers to self-monitoring, knowledge and belief barriers, barriers to diagnosis, barriers in relations with health professionals, barriers to lifestyle change, barriers to coping with diabetes, and barriers to getting advice and support. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) states that self-monitoring of blood sugar is important in ensuring glycemic control and preventing hyperglycemia and asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Reiki is applied as an alternative and complementary treatment method. Reiki application, when used together with pharmacological methods, chronic fatigue, diabetic neuropathy, pain caused by surgery, cancer treatment, symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, acute or chronic pain, infertility-related problems, neurodegenerative disorders, AIDS, autism and developmental disorders, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, traumatic brain injury and has been shown to improve health problems such as fatigue.
In the literature, the effects of reiki have been examined in patient groups with different chronic diseases, but no study has been found on obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Therefore, reikinin in obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes; This study is planned to determine whether it has an effect on compliance with diabetes treatment, eating behaviors, anxiety levels and changes in metabolic values.

Detailed Description
The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the loss of various organs and functions in the individual as a result of complications caused by diabetes affect the life expectancy and quality of individuals, and cause social and economic losses affecting the whole society. Diabetes with poor management causes many acute and chronic complications. Keeping diabetes under control seriously affects the occurrence of microvascular and macrovascular complications, which develop over years and seriously affect life. Compliance with diabetes treatment; nutrition therapy, regular exercise program, patient self-monitoring, medication, access to health facilities and patient education. With regular monitoring and monitoring of these parameters, compliance with a successful diabetes treatment is improved. The basis of compliance with diabetes treatment is determined by the attitudes and behaviors of patients regarding their own health. For this reason, the individual management of the diabetic patient is important in terms of ensuring effective participation and compliance in treatment and care. Patients must have knowledge, skills and positive attitudes in order to successfully comply with diabetes treatment. Patients are in compliance with diabetes treatment; they encounter some barriers such as medication barriers, barriers to self-monitoring, knowledge and belief barriers, barriers to diagnosis, barriers in relations with health professionals, barriers to lifestyle change, barriers to coping with diabetes, and barriers to getting advice and support. The inability of the individual to cope with these obstacles adequately causes problems in compliance with diabetes treatment. One of the most important points in compliance with diabetes management and treatment is self-monitoring of blood glucose. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) states that self-monitoring of blood sugar is important in ensuring glycemic control and preventing hyperglycemia and asymptomatic hypoglycemia. HbA1c levels were found to be lower in patients who measured their blood glucose more frequently. In patients with poor diabetes management and persistent hyperglycemia, there is an increase in HbA1c value. A 1% increase in HbA1c value is accepted as a risk in the formation of complications. Reiki is applied as an alternative and complementary treatment method. Reiki application, when used together with pharmacological methods, chronic fatigue, diabetic neuropathy, pain caused by surgery, cancer treatment, symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, acute or chronic pain, infertility-related problems, neurodegenerative disorders, AIDS, autism and developmental disorders, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, traumatic brain injury and has been shown to improve health problems such as fatigue (43).
In the literature, the effects of reiki have been examined in patient groups with different chronic diseases, but no study has been found on obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Therefore, reikinin in obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes; This study is planned to determine whether it has an effect on compliance with diabetes treatment, eating behaviors, anxiety levels and changes in metabolic values.
