To explore the feasibility of a Reiki therapy-training program for the caregivers of pediatric medical or oncology inpatients, at a large pediatric hospital, a series of Reiki training classes were offered by a Reiki Master. At completion of the training, an interview was conducted to elicit participant's feedback regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of the training program. Seventeen of the 18 families agreed to participate. Most families (65%) attended three Reiki training sessions, reporting that Reiki benefitted their child by improving their comfort (76%), providing relaxation (88%), and pain relief (41%). All caregivers identified becoming an active participant in their child's care as a major gain from participation in the Reiki training. A hospital-based Reiki training program for caregivers of hospitalized pediatric patients is feasible and can positively impact patients and their families. More rigorous research regarding the benefits of Reiki in the pediatric population is needed.
为了探索在一家大型儿科医院为儿科住院患者的医护人员提供灵气治疗培训计划的可行性，一位灵气大师开设了一系列灵气培训课程。在培训结束时，进行了一次访谈，以了解参与者对培训计划的有效性和可行性的反馈。18 个家庭中有 17 个同意参与。大多数家庭（65%）参加了三次灵气培训课程，他们报告说灵气通过改善舒适度（76%）、提供放松（88%）和缓解疼痛（41%）使他们的孩子受益。所有的照顾者都认为，作为参与灵气培训的主要收获，他们能够积极参与孩子的护理。为住院儿科患者的医护人员提供基于医院的灵气培训计划是可行的，并且可以对患者及其家庭产生积极影响。需要对灵气在儿科人群中的益处进行更严格的研究。
