Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of reiki therapy in professionals of a public university through the perception of subjective well-being. Method: This is a single-blind, randomized clinical trial with an experimental group and a control group. Twenty-eight professionals participated in the study. The experimental group received three Reiki sessions and the control group received three false sessions. Results: the ANOVA test showed significance in reducing the “negative affect” dimension in the experimental group (p=0.023). Conclusion: Reiki reduces “negative affect” and can therefore reduce unpleasant sensations in workers and serve as an effective tool for care.
