ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of nursing teams that care for hospitalized adolescents undergoing glucocorticoid infusion and to develop an educational protocol for nursing care during pulse therapy. This descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach was developed in a unit specializing in adolescent health at a university hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The instrument used for data collection was a semistructured interview conducted in a private room on the unit. The main results indicated that nursing knowledge was focused on the need to evaluate hemodynamic parameters, the care required during infusion therapy, and the complications resulting from the treatment. Educational material was developed to support a holistic view of the adolescent undergoing pulse therapy. Based on information received from the nursing team, it was determined that, although the team performed all the technical aspects of the infusion procedure well, their care did not address specific needs of the adolescent patient, guidance on infection prevention, or hemodynamic evaluation. After evaluating the nursing team's experience, knowledge, and perceptions, the researchers were able to develop appropriate protocols to guide care for hospitalized adolescents undergoing glucocorticoid infusion therapy.

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto del Reiki en el bienestar subjetivo de las personas que buscan esta terapia. Métodos: Estudio experimental llevado a cabo con 60 individuos que fueron asignados a los grupos de intervención (Reiki) y control (concentración de inducción sin manipulación de la energía). Se utilizó la Escala de Bienestar Subjetivo, que tenían las puntuaciones medias de sus tres dimensiones -satisfacción con la vida, afecto positivo y afecto negativo- comparadas entre los grupos sometiéndolas a la prueba de la t de Student con un nivel 5% de significación estadística. Resultados: Después de un seguimiento de 21 días y sometido a tres sesiones terapéuticas, Reiki aumentó la escala de afecto positivo (p = 0,01) de los individuos sin influir, sin embargo, en las dimensiones afecto negativo y satisfacción con la vida del bienestar subjetivo. Conclusión: El Reiki aumenta el efecto positivo de bienestar subjetivo de las personas que buscan esta terapia (AU)
