“…A survey examining Aberdeen Royal Infirmary nurses' views and self-use of CAM found that 80% were own CAM users and 74% would recommend to others. 93% of nurses surveyed had not had any formal education on CAM [12]. A separate survey focusing on the use of CAM in obstetric practice in North East Scotland showed 32.5% of the healthcare professionals involved in care during pregnancy (obstetricians, midwives and anaesthetists) would recommend CAM to patients, with recommendation 8 times more likely if the healthcare professional was within the 53.8% of personal CAM user [11].…”

“…The Scottish Executive Health Department has advised Scottish health boards that they should take into account the growing public interest in CAM, when planning future service provision [10]. As most CAM lacks formal scientific evidence, some research suggests that NHS staff rely on their own personal views or perceptions if asked for informed opinions or when integrating CAM into practice [11][12][13].…”

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasing. The most common reported reason for CAM use is dissatisfaction with conventional healthcare. Several studies have reported factors influencing CAM usage and beliefs in the general public but the beliefs of healthcare staff are less well known. This paper reports the results of an online survey of 537 healthcare staff. Our study demonstrated an increased rate of patient referral for CAM from both personal CAM users and those trained in CAM. There was a high level of optimism amongst respondents as to the role CAM may play in patient care with mental health, depression and palliative care cited as the areas with highest expected benefit. Doctors were generally less optimistic about the likelihood of benefit compared to other healthcare staff. Implications for clinical practice, future research and staff education are discussed.

Findings from this study suggest that health care professionals need to promote evidence informed decision-making in complementary and alternative medicine practice and be knowledgeable enough to discuss complementary and alternative medicine therapies. Without involvement of complementary and alternative medicine communication on the part of our profession, we may put our patients at risk of uninformed and without medical guidance.

Módszer: Ano nim, papíralapú kérdőíves felmérést végeztünk. 82%os válaszadási arány mellett összesen 119 kérdőív adatait dolgoz tuk fel leíró statisztikai elemzéssel és χ 2 próbával. Eredmények: A válaszadók mindössze 25,2%a tartotta eléggé tájékozottnak magát, 68,1%uk érdeklődött és 60,5%uk tanulna a természetgyógyászatról. A napi munka során 70,6%uk szívesen alkalmazna komplementer terápiás gyógymódokat, szignifikánsan gyakrabban azok, akik saját betegség esetén is igénybe veszik e gyógymódokat (p = 0,0027). A legnépszerűbb gyógymódok a homeopátia, az alternatív masszázs és mozgásterápia, az akupunktúra és a manuálterápia voltak.

Results: Only 25.2% of those surveyed considered themselves to be wellinformed in this field. 68.1% of the participants had an interest in naturopathy and 60.5% would have liked to learn about naturopathy. 70.6% would be willing to use nonconventional treatments in their daily work, pre dominantly those who have used these methods in the case of their own illness, p = 0.0027. The most popular treat ment methods included homeopathy, alternative massage and movement therapy, acupuncture and manual therapy.
