“…The questionnaire comprised 26 questions with four sections: demographics (5 items), knowledge and attitudes to CIM (9 items) and medicinal cannabis (7 items), and knowledge of integrative oncology services within the hospital (6 items) (Online Resource 1 ). Questions were adapted from the validated Complementary and Integrative Health Assessment for Practitioners (CIHAP) which assesses HCPs current knowledge of CM and their interest in integrating CM into their practices [ 19 ]. Other questions were adapted from a survey used to understand oncologists’ practices around CM [ 20 ].…”

Purpose We investigated attitudes and practices of healthcare professionals (HCPs) to medicinal cannabis (MC) and complementary and integrative medicine (CIM), including individual therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, herbs, dietary supplements, nutrition and exercise. We explored whether healthcare occupation influenced attitudes to CIM and MC; referral pathways for advice on CIM; and interest in a pharmacy service to evaluate herbs and supplements. Methods Cross-sectional survey. All clinical staff at a comprehensive cancer hospital were invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire about CIM and MC. We used descriptive analysis to describe the respondent’s knowledge and attitudes, and Fisher’s exact test to test for differences by occupation, length of time at the hospital and age. Results Most of the 116 HCPs respondents supported integrating CIM into cancer care (94.8%) and wanted to learn more (90%) and to understand benefits and contraindications. Most respondents believed that CIM (87.9%) could benefit patients with cancer, and MC could benefit those with advanced cancer (49–51%). Whilst just over half (52.6%) felt confident discussing CIM with patients, only 10% felt they had sufficient knowledge to discuss MC. Most felt they did not have sufficient knowledge to specifically discuss mind and body practices (63.8%) or herbs and supplements (79%). HCPs (63%) would be more inclined to allow use of herbs and supplements with cancer treatment if a pharmacy service was available to evaluate interactions. Occupation, length of time at hospital and age influenced confidence and knowledge about CIM. Conclusions The integration of evidence-based CIM and MC into cancer care is hampered by a lack of knowledge of benefits and contraindications, and gaps in education. Effective and safe integration may require targeted development of services such as pharmacy to evaluate the safety of herbs and supplements, and inclusion of cancer specialists who have received training in individual CIM therapies and MC.

Bu çalışma Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) pandemi sürecinde çalışan hemşirelerin tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanma durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla planlandı.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte yapılan bu araştırma, İstanbul'da bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinde 208 hemşire ile yürütüldü. Veri toplama aracı olarak hemşire tanılama formu ve sağlık profesyonelleri için tamamlayıcı ve bütüncül sağlık değerlendirme ölçeği kullanıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann-Whitney U testi, Kruskal-Wallis testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 34,25±6,3 yıl olan hemşirelerin, %86,5'i kadın, %76'sı lisans mezunu, %37'si on yıl ve üzeri çalışmakta, %68'i pandemi süreci boyunca tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanmaktaydı. Çalışmada lisans mezunu hemşirelerde, ekonomik durumu orta olanlarda, ailesinde 65 yaş üstü kronik hastalığa sahip birey bulunanlarda, tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemleri hakkında eğitim alanlarda, pandemi sürecinde tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemi kullananlarda, tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini yakınlarına ve hastalara önerenlerde tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanma durumlarının daha yüksek olduğu bulundu.Sonuç: Hemşirelerin tamamlayıcı ve bütüncül sağlık değerlendirme puanları ortalamanın üstündeydi. Hemşirelerin çoğunluğu tamamlayıcı tıp yöntemlerini kullanmaktaydı ve bu yöntemleri mesleki uygulamalarına entegre etme konularında ilgilerinin arttığı görüldü.

“…High scores on the CAMBI indicated that the individual had strong beliefs about CAM use. CAMBI has been shown to have satisfactory reliability (Berger & Johnson, 2017;Grzywacz et al, 2012). Cronbach's alpha for the CAMBI was 0.81, and for natural treatments, preference for participation in health treatments, and orientation toward holistic health subscales were 0.75, 0.68, and 0.73, respectively.…”

This study explored counseling students’ attitudes toward beliefs and personal experience with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) integration in counseling practices. A total of 113 clinical mental health counseling students completed a demographic questionnaire, the CAM use, and the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Beliefs Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, nonparametric Chi-Square testing, Mann–Whitney U test, and logistic regression analysis to determine the prevalence of CAM use, CAM beliefs, and predictive factors of CAM integration. The results indicated differences in ethnicity, gender, and age for CAM use, CAM beliefs, and predictors of attitudes toward CAM integration. Recommendations for counseling practice and education regarding CAM use and community-based health promotion were discussed.
