Resumen

Objective: to know the repercussions of a Reiki intervention on the well-being and self-reported health of nursing professionals. Method: this is a study with quasi-experiment characteristics, of before and after type, through intervention with Reiki, carried out with 14 nursing professionals from a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected between September 2019 and March 2020, through an audio-recorded interview, guided by the Roda da Vida instrument, whose graphic representation is a circumference, divided into 12 parts referring to different aspects of life, grouped into four quadrants: mental, emotional, practical and spiritual. Results: before intervention, there was a greater commitment in the emotional aspect, which remained after, but with a significant increase in the assigned score, indicating an improvement in satisfaction. Only one participant showed no increase in the score. The reflections showed that the professionals were dissatisfied and oblivious to their own lives in the four aspects evaluated and recognized that this impacted their health condition. After intervention, they showed positive repercussions and a new perspective of looking at life. Conclusion: the Reiki intervention promoted improvement in the self-reported health and general well-being of nursing professionals, characterized by contributions to mental, practical, emotional and spiritual issues.
