“…39 Among clinicians, yoga has emerged as one of the alternative system of medicine towards which they are more aware and acceptable. 40 Our patients reported willingness to participate in research related to the field of yoga if it was provided under trained supervision in their healthcare settings. Knowledge about CAM among medical professionals will help in the dissemination and acceptance of CAM among the patient and general population.…”

Background The use of complementary and alternative medicine, particularly yoga is increasing in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We assessed the overall awareness regarding yoga among patients and their opinion about it as an adjunct therapy for NCDs. Methods We included 384 patients attending the cardiology and neurology clinics at a tertiary care centre in northern India. A questionnaire was developed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of yoga as a therapy. Results Ninety per cent of patients were aware of yoga, mainly through print and electronic media. Of the surveyed patients, 22% practised yoga. Lack of time and knowledge were cited as the main reasons for non-practice among the non-practising patients (88%), of which 82% believed that yoga could be practised along with modern medicine. In addition, 61% were ready to accept treatment if offered at the surveyed tertiary care centre. Conclusions Adequate knowledge, awareness and attitude towards yoga appears to be present in contrast to the low practice among the patient population surveyed. If implemented in an integrated fashion, the patients were willing to accept yoga as an adjunct therapy for their cardiac and neurological disorders—an encouraging sign given the burden of NCDs in India.

“…A major barrier to recommending CAM is the lack of scientific evidence for its use ( 32 , 34 ), noting physicians primarily rely on scientific evidence and clinical research to guide their treatment plan ( 32 ). In our study, only 15% of GIs agreed the scientific evidence for yoga is sufficient.…”

“…Further, our regression model revealed those who are confident in recommending yoga are seven more times likely to recommend it. Lack of knowledge among physicians has been a well-cited reason for the reluctance to recommend yoga and other CAM therapies to patients ( 34 ). One in five patients listed their doctor as a normative referent that would approve of doing yoga.…”

Objectives To identify irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients’ attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control and intention to practice yoga and gastroenterologists’ attitudes and current yoga recommendations for their patients with IBS. Methods Gastroenterologists and IBS patients completed online surveys including Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) constructs. Among IBS patients, multiple linear regression determined the multivariate associations between TPB variables and intention to practice yoga while controlling for significant socio-demographic variables. Gastroenterologists were asked about their attitudes and current yoga recommendations for patients with IBS. Chi-square analyses examined associations between gastroenterologists’ demographics and recommending yoga. Binomial logistic regression described associations between attitude variables and current yoga recommendations. Results For patients (n = 109), controllability (β = 0.5, P < 0.001), affective attitude (β = 0.4, P < 0.05) and self-efficacy (β = 0.3, P < 0.05) were significantly associated with intention to do yoga in the regression model. TPB variables explained 34% of the variance in patients’ intentions to practice yoga. The binomial regression analysis revealed that gastroenterologists (n = 79) who have confidence in recommending yoga (39%) were seven times more likely to recommend it (odds ratio = 7.3, P = 0.002) and those who agreed yoga improves IBS symptom severity (54%) were 10 times more likely to recommend yoga (odds ratio = 10.1, P < 0.001). Most (86%) wanted more evidence to support efficacy of yoga for IBS and 44% asked for more knowledge on how to refer a patient. Conclusion Controllability, affective attitude and self-efficacy predicted IBS patients’ intentions to practice yoga. Although gastroenterologists believed yoga is safe and beneficial for IBS patients, most do not recommend yoga due to lack of confidence and scientific evidence.

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Die neue Approbationsordnung für Ärzte in Deutschland fordert verstärkt Hospitationen Medizinstudierender in allgemeinmedizinischen Lehrpraxen. Diese Studie soll einen Überblick geben, in welchem Ausmaß komplementär- und alternativmedizinischen Verfahren in deutschen Lehrpraxen angeboten werden und ob sie den Kriterien evidenzbasierter Medizin entsprechen. Orientierung an letzteren ist eine notwendige Voraussetzung für die Qualifikation zur Lehrpraxis. Methodik Nach systematischer Suche nach anerkannten Lehrpraxen der Fakultäten wurden deren Diagnostik- und Therapieangebote über die Praxis-Webseiten erfasst und unterschieden zwischen evidenzbasierter Komplementärmedizin und Alternativmedizin ohne oder mit umstrittener Evidenzbasierung. Ergebnisse Über die Hälfte der 4102 erfassten Lehrpraxen bot mindestens ein Verfahren aus dem komplementär- und/oder alternativmedizinischen Bereich an. Darunter waren überwiegend durch die Ärztekammer anerkannte Zusatzbezeichnungen. Alternativmedizinische Verfahren wurden in 18,2% der Praxen angeboten. Schlussfolgerung Sammelbegriffe und strittige Evidenzlagen erschweren eine Einordnung der Verfahren. Das Angebot nicht-evidenzbasierter Therapien in Lehrpraxen wirft die Frage nach einem Widerspruch zwischen der Rekrutierung vieler neuer Lehrpraxen und der Qualität der Lehre auf. Eindeutige Angebote der Alternativmedizin sollten zur Disqualifikation als Lehrpraxis führen. Umstrittene Verfahren könnten zumindest im Rahmen der akademischen Lehre und der Facharztweiterbildung in Bezug auf EbM-Kriterien und Kommunikationskompetenz unterrichtet werden, sodass junge Mediziner und Ärzte auf die Gespräche mit den Patienten vorbereitet sind.
