| dc.description.abstract | Reiki is an Integrative and Complementary Health Practice (PICS), characterized by the imposition of
hands on specific points of the body, recognized and indicated by the World Health Organization
(WHO), aims to restore physical, mental and spiritual balance. This work analyzed publications related
to this theme, addressing the Integrative and Complementary Practices implementation of national
policy in the Unified Health System (PNPIC-SUS), seeking to find out how Reiki has been used in
SUS.Objective: to verify, through a bibliographical survey, the use of Reiki as care technology by
health professionals in public health services users. The texts analyzed showed that health
professionals are increasingly exploring therapeutic Potential of such practices aiming at a better life
and care quality care for SUS users. In addition, through this study, we sought to discuss how health
professionals, especially Occupational Therapists (OT), use PICS in their professional practice and in
contexts that use Reiki in SUS. Through the bibliographical survey, it was possible to verify the
transformation potentialities of the subjects attended, in addition, it’s reflected that it’s not enough, for
those who intend and work with the PICS, to depend on few studies and considerations about the
benefits of the practices in TO , requiring more extensive research to support the considerations
found, in this way, it is pointed out the need for more research and disciplines in the health area
courses that approach the theme as a form of integral care. | |
