| To analyze whether nursing students who received in-person or distance Reiki therapy (Intervention Group) showed improvements in the level of Stress, when compared to those who did not participate in the therapy (Control Group), using the Perceived Stress Scale. It was found that comparing the scores for each stage between the Intervention Group and the Control Group, it was noted that while the median of the intervention group in question 9 (How often were you angry about things that were out of your control?) is at 1, in the other group it is at zero. This already indicates that the intervention of reiki therapy brought more expressive results for the intervention group than for the control group, which has a median of 0. There is a greater deviation for the intervention group than for the control group. The Mann Whitney test indicates that the difference between the score before and after behaves differently between groups (p-value=0.028). For the total score, there is a mean and median of the difference greater than 0, indicating that there was a decrease in the comparison between the score before and after. There is a value close to 7 for the intervention deviation and close to 5 for the control group. The t-student test states that there is a difference in the means of the difference between the steps before and after between the intervention and control groups. Period: 02/04/2020 to 02/28/2020 (face-to-face phase with 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students), 03/13/2020 to 03/14/2020 (face-to-face phase with 1st grade students) and 25/ 08/2020 to 08/09/2020 (distance phase with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students), based on the finding of a variation of at least 5% in measurements.
