A meditação, descrita como uma prática de auto-regulação do corpo e da mente, caracteriza-se por um conjunto de técnicas que treinam a focalização da atenção. Também conhecida como treinamento mental, essa prática constitui uma técnica capaz de produzir efeitos psicossomáticos. Este artigo apresenta a revisão de algumas evidências acerca dos benefícios da meditação e do seu papel na aplicação clínica. Inúmeros estudos vêm mostrando a sua eficácia, que está especialmente relacionada à diminuição dos sintomas ligados ao estresse e à ansiedade. Além disso, as pesquisas revelam que essa prática pode produzir efeitos de curta e longa duração que podem afetar positivamente as funções cognitivas e afetivas. Discutemse aspectos relacionados às definições e às particularidades de cada técnica e aos contextos aos quais pode estar atrelada. Apesar do crescente acúmulo de evidências sobre a relação entre meditação e saúde física e mental, ainda são necessárias mais investigações.

“…In recent years, efforts have been made to integrate knowledge and use of CAM therapies into nursing education in both Australia [11] and USA [12]; it is unknown the extent to which such knowledge is integrated into nurse education curricula in other countries. Existing literature, however, demonstrates that as few as 3% of nurses have sufficient knowledge about CAM therapies despite having a high degree of interaction with patients [13].…”

“…Areas of team discussions should also focus on: 1) addressing attitudes and areas where there is a lack of knowledge of CAM, 2) identifying a process for coordinating conventional with CAM therapies during the treatment-recovery phase, 3) ensuring proper surveillance of patients’ health status, since CAM providers would not be expected to diagnose outside their specialty area, 4) establishing clinical expectations for reporting and accountability, 5) addressing liability concerns with respect to integrative service, 6) establishing networks with team members and internal and external service providers, and 7) establishing a referral process (Dimond, 1995; Libster, 2003; McCabe, 2005). A major barrier to the integration process involves physicians’ uncertainty and concerns regarding the legal implications of referring patients to providers who they cannot identify as qualified practitioners (McCabe, 2005). Concerns surrounding the “evidence” debate and associated liability risk will also influence referrals to CAM providers (Kelner et al 2003).…”

Over the last few years, there has been increased awareness and use of complementary/alternative therapies (CAM) in many countries without the health care infrastructure to support it. The National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine referred to the combining of mainstream medical therapies and CAM as integrative medicine. The creation of integrative health care teams will definitely result in redefining roles, but more importantly in a change in how services are delivered. The purpose of this paper is to describe a model of the necessary health care agency resources to support an integrative practice model. A logic model is used to depict the findings of a review of current evidence. Logic models are designed to show relationships between the goals of a program or initiative, the resources to achieve desired outputs and the activities that lead to outcomes. The four major resource categories necessary for implementing integrative care are within the domains of a) professional and research development, b) health human resource planning, c) regulation and legislation and d) practice and management in clinical areas. It was concluded that the system outcomes from activities within these resource categories should lead to freedom of choice in health care; a culturally sensitive health care system and a broader spectrum of services for achieving public health goals.
