Pranik şifanın sağlıkta kullanımına yönelik sistematik derleme

Amaç: Bu sistematik derlemenin amacı, Pranik şifa hakkında sağlık profesyonellerinin bilgilendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Literatür taramasında Pranik şifanın sağlıklı bireyler, kanser hastaları, kronik ağrı, uyku sorunu, depresyon, stres ve astımı olanlarda kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Derlemeye dahil edilen araştırmaların, randomize kontrollü (n=6), yarı-deneysel (n=8), olgu sunumu (n=4), olgu serisi (n=1), ve tanımlayıcı (n=3) tasarıma sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Bu araştırmalarda örneklem ve araştırma gücünün hesaplamasına yönelik detaylı bilgilerin verilmediği, uygulama sıklıklarının ve seans sürelerinin farklılık gösterdiği, çoğunluğunun Hindistan’da gerçekleştirildiği görülmüştür. Araştırmaların çoğunda anlamlı iyileşme sağladığı bildirilmesine rağmen, metodoloji açısından eksikliklerin gözetilerek sonuçların genellenmemesi önemlidir. Sonuç: Araştırmaların kanıt düzeylerinin II-IV olması, katılımcıların olumlu geri bildirimleri ve yan etkilerin az olması gibi durumların ele alınarak, Pranik şifanın sağlık alanında kullanımının yaygınlaştırılması ve güçlü metodolojisi olan yeni araştırmaların Türkiye’de de planlanması önerilir.

Results: No detailed information was given about sample calculation and study power in the studies, frequency of practices and session durations are differed, and most of the studies were carried out in India.
