“…Findings from these studies identified that resources mainly used by students included the Internet, textbooks, media, and academic journals (Lie & Boker, ; Münstedt et al ., ). Medical students are increasingly expected to address issues associated with CM in the prevocational setting (Pierantozzi et al ., ; Templeman et al ., ); however, there is limited knowledge on the CM information needs of Australian medical students and the information resources they seek in preparation for clinical practice. In addition, many students may not know how to determine the quality or veracity of CM information.…”

The aim of this study was to identify Australian medical students' complementary medicine information needs. Thirty medical students from 10 medical education faculties across Australian universities were recruited. Data were generated using in-depth semi-structured interviews and constructivist grounded theory method was used to analyze and construct data. Students sought complementary medicine information from a range of inadequate sources, such as pharmacological texts, Internet searches, peer-reviewed medical journals, and drug databases. The students identified that many complementary medicine resources may not be regarded as objective, reliable, differentiated, or comprehensive, leaving much that medical education needs to address. Most students sought succinct, easily accessible, evidence-based information to inform safe and appropriate clinical decisions about complementary medicines. A number of preferred resources were identified that can be recommended and actively promoted to medical students. Therefore, specific, evidence-based complementary medicine databases and secondary resources should be subscribed and recommended to medical schools and students, to assist meeting professional responsibilities regarding complementary medicines. These findings may help inform the development of appropriate medical information resources regarding complementary medicines.

“…In order to discuss about CAM and provide accurate information about it in IM services, CPs need to have cultural sensitivity and knowledge on CAM methods and IM [ 4 , 15 ]. Understanding of CAM methods is also an important factor for CPs to perceive CAM positively and increase communication effectivity and trust with clients [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Surveys in 25 nations found that two-thirds of people with mental disorder did not disclose their CAM use to their conventional health practitioners due to fear of disapproval and uncertainty about their health practitioners’ ability to integrate CAM [ 3 ]. Studies in African nations and Australia also found that lack of CAM understanding among conventional HPs may affect their perspective on IM and willingness to collaborate with CAM practitioners (CAMPs) [ 15 , 18 ].…”

“…Information about CAM and IM has been integrated into conventional health education, mainly in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy education programs [ 19 , 20 ]. However, the inclusion of CAM in these conventional health education curriculums varied between schools and institutions, resulting in inconsistent understanding of CAM and mixed attitudes towards IM [ 5 , 15 ]. Additionally, inconsistent CAM understanding may lead to diverse implementation of IM and potential challenges for certifying the service [ 19 ].…”

Background Integrative medicine (IM), which is the integration of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) into conventional health services, has been applied in some nations. Despite its highly relevant holistic approach with the improvement of mental health care using person-centred approach, there are limited studies that discuss IM, specifically in clinical psychology. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to explore the perspectives of Indonesian clinical psychologists (CPs) on the possibilities and challenges of IM implementation in clinical psychology. Methods Semi-structured interviews with 43 CPs who worked in public health centres were conducted between November 2016 and January 2017. A maximum variation sampling was used. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts was applied considering its flexibility to report and examine explicit and latent contents. Results Three themes were identified from the analysis. First, the possibility of IM implementation in clinical psychology, which revealed two possible options that were centred on creating co-located services. Second, the challenges that covered (a) credibility, (b) acceptance, (c) procedure and facility, and (d) understanding and skill. Lastly, participants proposed four strategies to overcome these challenges, including: (a) certification, (b) facilities, (c) dialogue, and (d) regulations. Conclusion Participants recognised the possibility of IM implementation in clinical psychology, particularly in clinical psychology services. This IM implementation may face challenges that could be overcome by dialogue between CPs and CAM practitioners as well as clear regulation from the government and professional psychology association.

Komplementär- und alternativmedizinische Angebote von Lehrpraxen für Allgemeinmedizin

et al. 2022

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.
