To examine personal use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among U.S. health care workers.
Data are from the 2007 Alternative Health Supplement of the National Health Interview Survey. We examined a nationally representative sample of employed adults (n = 14,329), including a subsample employed in hospitals or ambulatory care settings (n = 1,280).
We used multivariate logistic regression to estimate the odds of past year CAM use.
Health care workers are more likely than the general population to use CAM. Among health care workers, health care providers are more likely to use CAM than other occupations.
Personal CAM use by health care workers may influence the integration of CAM with conventional health care delivery. Future research on the effects of personal CAM use by health care workers is therefore warranted.
调查美国医护人员对补充和替代医学(CAM)的个人使用情况。
数据来自 2007 年全国健康访谈调查的替代健康补充调查。我们对包括在医院或门诊环境中工作的成年人(n = 14329)在内的具有全国代表性的就业成年人样本进行了检查,其中包括一个亚样本(n = 1280)。
我们使用多元逻辑回归来估计过去一年 CAM 使用的几率。
医护人员比一般人群更有可能使用 CAM。在医护人员中,医疗保健提供者比其他职业更有可能使用 CAM。
医护人员个人使用 CAM 可能会影响 CAM 与传统医疗服务的整合。因此,有必要对医护人员个人使用 CAM 的影响进行未来研究。
