La medicina integrativa nelle cure palliative pediatriche: musicoterapia e altre tecniche
For “integrative medicine” we mean a set of multimodal interventions in which conventional medicine and some evidence-based practices of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are associated. Integrative Medicine offers a holistic view of the individual’s well-being and tries to relieve not only physical but also psychological, spiritual and emotional symptoms. For this aspect, in recent years Integrative Medicine has known a wide diffusion in the field of palliative care, also in the pediatric age. Often, in fact, drug therapy fails to manage the severe symptoms, not only physical, that children, with complex pathologies in palliative care, complain about. The “unconventional therapies”, used in pediatric age for various common ailments, find an increasingly space in the context of pediatric palliative care (PPC) to counteract symptoms such as anxiety, fear, sleep disturbances, pain, nausea and others. Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of CAM in PPC, few have come to scientifically valid results but some of these techniques have collected sufficient evidence. The most frequently used techniques are: massage, Reiki, “Mind-Body” therapies, hypnosis and acupuncture and music therapy. The latter has shown, in the experience of our Center, wide applications in the field of PPCs. Music therapy (MT) is the use of music and sound, to create a therapeutic relationship between the operator and the patients with the aim of improving their quality of life thanks to a therapeutic process. Being person-oriented, through a holistic approach, music therapy is successfully used in PPC. In this context, this discipline contributes to the control of several different symptoms and, more generally, for the well-being of the child (and his/her family). Moreover, MT represents a powerful non-verbal means of expression useful for processing feelings of pain and anxiety that the disease entails. It is desirable that a greater number of studies evaluate the advantages of integrative medicine in the treatment of children suffering from complex chronic diseases and that the techniques of “unconventional medicine” find greater diffusion in the context of PPC for the well-being of children and their families.

THE IMPACT OF DAILY SELF-REIKI PRACTICE ON RESILIENCE AMONG ONCOLOGY NURSES: A MIXED METHODS STUDY
Purpose: This study examined whether Reiki training can enhance resilience in oncology nurses. It aimed to establish a daily self-Reiki practice to bolster longterm resilience, equipping nurses with an easy-touse self-healing technique while offering oncology departments a low-cost way to support their nurses. Significance: Addressing burnout among oncology nurses is critical, as many are leaving the profession. Implementing a self-care practice like Reiki could enhance nurse well-being and resilience, while also potentially improving patient care. Reiki is documented in published studies for its ability to reduce stress and anxiety while enhancing overall well-being. It is commonly employed as a self-care technique to promote relaxation and improve quality of life. Despite its widespread use, there is a notable lack of research on its application for personal use, particularly among oncology nurses. Methods: This IRB-approved mixed methods study used a semi-crossover and repeated measures design. Fifteen oncology nurses who worked at a regional cancer center were randomly divided into Cohort 1 (n=6) and Cohort 2 (n=9). Cohort 1 received Reiki training, while Cohort 2 served as the real-time control. Cohort 2 began training once Cohort 1 was complete. Each cohort was trained over four months in First and Second Degree Reiki. Training included weekly online content, in-person attunements and practice sessions, and an expectation of 20-minute daily self-Reiki practice. Resilience was measured using the 100-point Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and qualitative questions, with surveys conducted before, immediately after, and at three- and six-months post-training. Findings and Interpretations: Notable improvements in resilience were reported between cohorts. Combined scores of both cohorts showed that resilience increased by an average 16.3% immediately post-training, 12.15% at three months, and 8.5% at six months. Participation in the surveys dropped to 9 nurses by six months, and based on comments, possibly affected the declining resilience scores over time. Qualitative findings revealed greater feelings of reflection and calm, though participants identified a need for more external structure to support their practice. Discussion: Reiki training appears to positively affect oncology nurses resilience. However, long-term habits may be difficult to establish. Department support such as a wellness room and protected time may enhance this initiative. Recommendations for future research include employing an adequately powered sample size, incentives for survey completion, detailed questions about self-practice, and expecting a shorter commitment (ten minutes) for daily self-practice.

Reiki in London : the vibrant individual
Reiki healing has become increasingly popular in the UK since the 1980s. The 'community' of Reiki in London is unbounded, both geographically spread and demographically diverse. Some practitioners gather with others to perform Reiki in 'shares', but these shares are frequently attended by different people, who disperse afterwards and have little to no contact with each other. While Reiki healers might either place their hands on the client or keep them suspended just above the body, any intimacy is contained within the episode of healing. In the episodic engagement of self-practice, Reiki practitioners 'check-in' with themselves 'in the moment'. Focusing on practitioners, this anthropological study explores the commitment to Reiki practice given its non-native, unfixed and fragmented identity in London. Noting that the incentive for practitioners to self-practice links well-being with being good, the principle exploration in this thesis is of the meaningfulness of Reiki as a practice of experience. Analysing ethnographic data from two years of participant observation and semi-structured interviews amongst Reiki practitioners in London, this study presents vital materialism, in which there is a perceived kinship between human and non-human agent-objects. In Reiki distance healing, prophetic interpretation and regression healing, practitioners are presented as expanding the present-moment, in spatial and temporal play, to curate the 'self'. While there is an aesthetic preoccupation in 'cleansing', the practice is also ethical. Individually stylised rituals of Reiki identify paradoxically arbitrary actions as arbiters of meaningfulness, orienting 'authenticity' around the individual. Individualistic authenticity revolutionises the social imagination, as practitioners transform the legitimising terms of the city, science and bureaucracy. Privileging the senses as 'intuitive' knowledge internalises the judgment of truth, exemplified by conspiracy theories. In the perception of 'energy', they seek to transform contemporary metropolitan life into an ascent of the individual.

Self reiki : tune in to your life force to achieve harmony and balance
Harness the power of your own hands and use reiki techniques at home - to harmonise and heal. A reiki session produces a feeling of radiance and a sense of calm, peace, security, and harmony of body and mind. It can also alleviate pain and treat stress and anxiety. The practice is intuitive - tuning into internal energy, laying hands on or close to targeted areas of the body to identify blockages and using placement and pressure to encourage a healthy flow of life energy. This ancient Japanese hands-on healing system is gaining interest and popularity as more people turn to Eastern medicine - in particular, Japanese wellness traditions - for inspiration. There is so much more to reiki than the hands-on body work that it is most known for. It is about connecting with the universal energy and coming home to your true self - using meditation, mantra, visualisation, breathwork, and distant as well as hands-on healing. And the more you can do at home, outside of visits to a therapist, the more benefits you will enjoy.

HEALING OUR HEALTHCARE HEROES: A STAFF REIKI PROGRAM
Reiki is a technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and healing. Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen energy flows throughout all things including the body. When this energy is low one may be prone to sickness or stress. When this energy is high one is more capable of living a happy and healthy life. Reiki is administered by the light touch of a practitioner through a series of hand positions that directly affect this unseen energy or \"ki.\" The nursing profession, especially during a pandemic, can experience a high level of burnout. Due to the nature of their work, oncology nurses can suffer an emotional toll and currently there is little in place to help staff cope. Reiki can support nursing staff with feelings of stress, burnout, and physical or emotional fatigue. The literature demonstrated that Reiki effectively decreases stress and anxiety with only a few sessions. A staff Reiki program was developed and implemented in a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center to help staff relieve stress, increase morale, and decrease burnout. This innovative nursing initiative to improve the wellbeing of nurses and ancillary staff who were at risk of experiencing burnout was the first of its kind throughout the organization's 70+ outpatient cancer center sites. Time was designated for this Reiki certified practitioner to offer Reiki to nursing and ancillary staff. An informative email was sent providing directions for those interested. One hour time slots were offered bimonthly, and a quiet space was designated for the 20-minute sessions. Data was collected pre- and post- session. Pre-data showed that 85% of those who received Reiki did not understand the technique as compared to 100% of staff post session. 100% of staff reported experiencing stress at work and reported that a Reiki program could improve morale. Since the program began in September 2020, there has been an extremely positive response. Staff report pain relief and decreased stress levels following a session. As of now, 100% of the 127 participants have reported positive outcomes. Staff engagement continues to be extremely active with the Reiki program. Out of the 127 participants, 45 sought out sessions for pain and stress at times outside of the program. Overall moral improved. Future goals include training additional Reiki practitioners and expanding the program to other network sites.
