Feasibility and Acceptability of a Reiki Intervention With Very Young Children Receiving Palliative Care
Discussion
Young children and their parents found Reiki acceptable; these results are comparable to an earlier study of children 7–16 years of age receiving palliative care at home and a study of massage for symptom management for hospitalized children with cancer. These findings add to the literature and support further investigation of Reiki’s efficacy as a nonpharmacological symptom management intervention.
