Resumo(s)
A ansiedade tem vindo a tornar-se uma emergência na saúde mental dos adolescentes, sobretudo em contexto escolar, apresentando um impacto negativo no desempenho académico, nas relações interpessoais e no bem-estar emocional dos alunos. Diversas estratégias de intervenção têm sido exploradas para mitigar este problema, incluindo abordagens complementares como o Reiki. O estudo quasi-experimental, desenvolvido neste projeto de mestrado, teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto do Reiki na redução da sintomatologia ansiosa em adolescentes do ensino básico. A amostra foi composta por 17 alunos (Midade= 13,35) de uma escola pública portuguesa, do Alto Alentejo. Foi seguido um desenho quasi-experimental com dois grupos: um experimental e outro de controle. A recolha de dados incluiu um questionário sociodemográfico, a escala Generalized Anxiety Disorder e, no final das sessões, no grupo experimental, foi também aplicado um questionário de satisfação para avaliar as sessões de Reiki. A análise estatística foi conduzida utilizando o software IBM SPSS Statistics (versão 29.0), aplicando o teste de Wilcoxon para avaliar as diferenças dentro dos grupos ao longo do tempo e o teste de Mann-Whitney para comparar a evolução dos dois grupos. Os resultados demonstraram que o Reiki pode ajudar a diminuir os sintomas de ansiedade em adolescentes, indicando que esta terapia complementar pode ser uma ferramenta na redução da ansiedade. Implicações práticas são fornecidas sobre a importância da integração do Reiki, para ajudar a reduzir os sintomas de ansiedade nestas faixas etárias.
Anxiety is becoming a mental health emergency among adolescents, especially in schools, negatively impacting academic performance, interpersonal relationships, and students' emotional well-being. Various intervention strategies have been explored to mitigate this problem, including complementary approaches such as Reiki. The quasi-experimental study developed in this master's project aimed to evaluate the impact of Reiki on reducing anxiety symptoms in elementary school adolescents. The sample consisted of 17 students (Mage= 13.35) from a Portuguese public school in Alto Alentejo. A quasi-experimental design was followed with two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Data collection included a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale. At the end of the sessions, the experimental group also received a satisfaction questionnaire to evaluate the Reiki sessions. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics (version 29.0), using the Wilcoxon test to assess within-group differences over time and the Mann-Whitney test to compare progress between the two groups. The results showed that Reiki can help reduce anxiety symptoms in adolescents, indicating that this complementary therapy can be a tool for reducing anxiety. Practical suggestions for incorporating Reiki significance to lessen anxiety symptoms in these age groups are discussed.
