Journal of holistic nursing : official journal of the American Holistic Nurses' Association December 1, 2024 Melanie Naone, Christina Ford, Katherine Finn Davis 1 citation

A 10-minute session combining Reiki and guided meditation, called the "Zen Den," reduced perceived stress by 46% and anxiety by 45% among nurses at a Hawaii trauma center, while increasing happiness by 17% and coping ability by 18%. The intervention was delivered by Reiki-certified holistic nurses using a free meditation app and a quiet space, suggesting that existing resources can support workplace well-being.
