“…Holistic nursing theories provide a framework for the use of hypnosis by nurses (American Holistic Nurses Association and American Nurses Association, 2007;Dossey & Guzzetta, 1994;Reed, 2007;Watson & Smith, 2002).

Breathing, imagery, and relaxation techniques are also included in the practice of hypnosis.…”

The purpose of this pilot project was to test the feasibility of hypnosis as a preoperative intervention. The unique features of this study were: (a) use of a standardized nurse-delivered hypnosis protocol, (b) intervention administration immediately prior to surgery in the preoperative holding area, and (c) provision of hypnosis to breast cancer surgery patients receiving general anesthesia. A mixed-method design was used. Data collected from the intervention group and historical control group included demographics, symptom assessments, medication administration, and surgical, anesthesia, and recovery minutes. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the intervention group. A reduction in anxiety, worry, nervousness, sadness, irritability, and distress was found from baseline to postintervention while pain and nausea increased. The results support further exploration of the use of nurse-led preoperative hypnosis.

“…Kim et al reported that massage and meditation were the most familiar therapies for nursing students 25) . Halcon et al reported that the CAM therapies rated most highly by nursing students in terms of effectiveness were acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, supplements and prayer 26) . These CAM modalities are familiar for nurses because many of these modalities are similar to nursing herbal medicine, whereas male students had high levels of interest in Japanese herbal medicine, massage, psychotherapy and supplements.…”

which they had positive opinions regarding clinical usefulness and recommendation to patients. [Key words]complementary and alternative medicine, CAM, gender difference, student, attitude INTRODUCTIONThe use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been increasing worldwide in recent years and CAM has been more frequently used by females than by males. In a general population, women are more likely to use CAM and to be interested in receiving CAM [1][2][3][4] . A cross-sectional study in the United States showed a strong association of female gender with CAM use across ethnic minorities 5) . In patients in northern Israel, women visiting primary care clinics used CAM more often than did men 6,7) . Several studies have shown more frequent use of CAM by women than by men for chronic and life-threatening illnesses [8][9][10] . Corbin et al. reported that there was a gender difference among US physicians regarding their interest in CAM education and that female physicians were more likely than male physicians to recommend CAM for pa-.On the other hand, it has been reported that female students in a medical school had significantly more positive attitudes toward CAM than did male students [12][13][14][15] , but several studies have shown no significant difference in gender regarding attitudes toward CAM 16,17) . Therefore, gender difference in theObjective: Gender differences in attitudes toward and knowledge of CAM among health care profession students have not been evaluated in Japan. We examined gender differences in opinions, attitudes and knowledge regarding CAM among Japanese health care profession students. Methods:The subjects of this study were 1465 health care profession students. We used a questionnaire to obtain information on knowledge, sources of information, personal use, interest, willingness to take lectures, opinions regarding effectiveness and willingness to recommend for 17 different CAM modalities. Results:The proportions of female students with sufficient knowledge or a little knowledge of massage, chiropractic, Japanese herbal medicine, aromatherapy, diet, dietary supplements, psychotherapy, yoga and music therapy were significantly higher than the proportions of male students (p < 0.05). The frequencies of personal use of aromatherapy and yoga by female students were significantly higher than those by male students (p < 0.05). Female students had high levels of interest in aromatherapy, massage, yoga and chiropractic, while male students had high levels of interest in Japanese herbal medicine, massage and psychotherapy. Both female and male students had positive opinions regarding clinical usefulness and recommendation for massage, Japanese herbal medicine and psychotherapy (p < 0.05). Conclusions:Female students are more likely to have positive and favorable attitudes toward CAM than are male students in Japan. CAM modalities that female students had an interest in and used were different from CAM modalities for acupuncture, Ayurveda, homeopathy, massage, chiropractic, reflexolo...

“…While significant research has been conducted exploring medical practitioners' attitudes and perceptions toward complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) (Halcon, Chlan, Kreitzer, & Leonard, 2003;Hyland, Lewith, & Westoby, 2003;Lewith, Hyland, & Shaw, 2002), there is an absence of similar investigations within the field of psychology. Although some previous research has attempted to explore differences between medical and social science students' (predominately psychology students) attitudes toward complementary medical practitioners and medical treatment preferences (Yardley, Fahmy, Jamie, & Furnham, 1999), no previous study has tried to demonstrate the key perceptions underlying psychology students' decisions regarding integrating CAT into their future professional practice.…”

We investigated whether belief-based differences exist between students who have strong and weak intentions to integrate complementary and alternative therapy (CAT) into future psychology practice by recommending CAT or specific CAT practitioners to clients. A cross-sectional methodology was used. Psychology undergraduate students (N = 106) participated in a paper-based questionnaire design to explore their underlying beliefs related to CAT integration. The study was undertaken at a major university in Queensland, Australia. The theory of planned behaviour belief-based framework guided the study. Multivariate analyses of variance examined the influence of behavioural, normative, and control beliefs on the strong and weak intention groups. A multiple regression analysis investigated the relative importance of these belief sets for predicting intentions. We found that clear differences emerged between strong and weak intenders on behavioural and normative beliefs, but not control beliefs. Strong intenders perceived the positive outcomes of integrating CAT, such as being able to offer clients a more holistic practice and having confidence in the practitioners/practices, as more likely to occur than weak intenders, and perceived the negative outcome of compromising my professional practice as less likely. Strong intenders were more likely than weak intenders to perceive that a range of important referents (e.g., clients) would think they should integrate CAT. Results of the regression analysis revealed the same pattern of results in that behavioural and normative beliefs, but not control beliefs, significantly predicted intentions. The findings from this study can be used to inform policy and educational initiatives that aim to encourage CAT use in psychology practice.
