To review literature documenting the frequency of use and efficacy of spiritual complementary therapies. Implications for clinical practice and research that reflect this literature are offered.
Data based research on complementary therapy usage and clinical articles about selected mind/body therapies.
Spiritual complementary therapies are among the most frequently used. Prayer, spiritual healing, and meditation are the most frequently used spiritual therapies. Equivocal evidence supports their efficacy.
Although spiritual practices may not be considered a "therapy," clinicians should assess and support these practices. Clinicians should only pray with patients when observing ethical guidelines.
回顾记录精神补充疗法使用频率和疗效的文献。提出反映该文献的对临床实践和研究的启示。
关于补充疗法使用情况的基于数据的研究以及有关选定身心疗法的临床文章。
精神补充疗法是使用最为频繁的疗法之一。祈祷、精神治疗和冥想是最常用的精神疗法。证据不明确，无法支持其疗效。
尽管精神实践可能不被视为一种“疗法”，但临床医生应评估并支持这些实践。临床医生只有在遵守道德准则的情况下才能与患者一起祈祷。
