Background. Complementary therapies (CTs) are increasingly utilized by cancer patients. Nonetheless, patients report insufficient support from health care practitioners (HCPs) and there is a general lack of patient-practitioner communication about CT use. Best care practices suggest that HCPs should address the needs of patients, including CT use. This study examined current practices of patients and HCPs as well as their interactions relating to CTs. Methods. A total of 481 cancer outpatients and 100 HCPs completed questionnaires. Patient questions addressed CT use and information needs; HCP questions addressed knowledge, opinions and beliefs about complementary and alternative medicine. Patient-practitioner communication around CT was also examined. Results. 47% of patients reported using CTs since diagnosis. Many commenced CT use to improve quality of life (65%) based on recommendations from family or friends. Patients acknowledged the need for trusted sources of information and would attend a hospital-based education program (72%). HCPs reported limited training about CTs but most (90%) expressed interested in receiving more training. The majority of HCPs (>80%) reported limited knowledge about the role of CTs in cancer care or evidence to support CT use. Questions about communication and interactions revealed that 80% of patients reported not having had an HCP speak to them about CTs. However, 63% of HCPs reported addressing CT use. Conclusion. Results demonstrate a need for improved CT education and training for patients and HCPs. increasing HCP knowledge and clinical skills will ensure patients’ information needs about CTs are acknowledged and attended to, thereby providing safer and comprehensive cancer care.

Background Cancer survivors’ disclosure of complementary health approaches (CHA) to their follow-up care physicians is necessary to ensure safe and optimal use of such approaches. Rates of disclosure of CHA are variable and may be facilitated by patient-centered communication. Methods This cross-sectional study conducted in 2003–2004 examined a population-based sample (N=623) of leukemia, colorectal, and bladder cancer survivors who were 2–5 years post-diagnosis. A subset of participants who reported using CHA (N=196) was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine the association between patients’ perception of their physician’s patient-centered communication (i.e., information exchange, affective behavior, knowledge of patient-as-person) and patients’ disclosure of CHA use to their physician adjusting for physician, patient and patient-physician relationship factors. Results Thirty-one percent of the full sample used CHA and 47.6% of CHA users disclosed their use to their physicians. Disclosure was significantly associated with patient-centered communication even when adjusting for hypothesized covariates (OR=1.37; 95% Confidence Interval [CI; 1.09, 1.71]). Perceived physician knowledge of the patient-as-person (OR=1.28; CI [1.10, 1.48]) and information exchange (OR=1.27; CI [1.02, 1.60]) were the aspects of patient-centered communication that contributed to this association. The main reason for nondisclosure assessed in the survey was that survivors did not think it was important to discuss CHA (67.0%). A majority of physicians encouraged continued use of CHA, when disclosed (64.8%). Conclusion Results support that improving the overall patient-centeredness of cancer follow-up care and improving disclosure of CHA use are potentially synergistic clinical goals.
