To assess the attitudes of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and midwives toward complementary medicine (CM) at a Swiss academic hospital and toward its use for treating chronic pain.
The cross-sectional survey took place from October to December 2013.
An e-mail sent to 4925 healthcare professionals (1969 physicians, 2372 nurses, 145 physical therapists, and 111 midwives) working at Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland, invited them to answer a web-based questionnaire.
The questionnaire was answered by 1247 healthcare professionals (response rate: 25.3%). Of these, 96.1% strongly agreed or agreed that CM could be useful for the treatment of chronic pain, with more nurses (96.7%) and midwives (100%) than physicians (93.8%) agreeing that CM could be useful (P < .001 for both comparisons). Women had more positive attitude toward CM than men (97.8% versus 91.2%; P < .001). Of the respondents, 96.9% were strongly in favor or in favor of offering CM, especially hypnosis (89.8%), osteopathy (85.5%), and acupuncture (83.4%), at the hospital for treating chronic pain. Respondents listed migraine (74.7%), tension headaches (70.6%), and low back pain (70.1%) as three main conditions for which they would refer patients for acupuncture. The three therapies with which respondents were the most unfamiliar were neuraltherapy (57.2%), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) (54.1%), and biofeedback (51.9%). Over half of respondents, 58.3%, had never referred a patient to a CM practitioner. A total of 84.3% of the respondents felt that they lacked the knowledge to inform their patients about CM.

横断面调查于2013年10月至12月进行。
向瑞士洛桑大学医院工作的4925名医疗保健专业人员(1969名医生、2372名护士、145名物理治疗师和111名助产士)发送电子邮件,邀请他们回答一份基于网络的问卷。
1247名医疗保健专业人员回答了问卷(回复率:25.3%)。其中,96.1%的人强烈同意或同意补充医学对治疗慢性疼痛可能有用,同意补充医学可能有用的护士(96.7%)和助产士(100%)多于医生(93.8%)(两项比较P均<0.001)。女性对补充医学的态度比男性更积极(97.8%对91.2%;P<0.001)。在受访者中,96.9%的人强烈支持或支持在医院提供补充医学,尤其是催眠(89.8%)、整骨疗法(85.5%)和针灸(83.4%)来治疗慢性疼痛。受访者列出偏头痛(74.7%)、紧张性头痛(70.6%)和腰痛(70.1%)为他们会推荐患者接受针灸治疗的三个主要病症。受访者最不熟悉的三种疗法是神经疗法(57.2%)、基于正念的减压疗法(MBSR)(54.1%)和生物反馈(51.9%)。超过一半的受访者(58.3%)从未将患者转诊给补充医学从业者。共有84.3%的受访者认为他们缺乏向患者介绍补充医学的知识。
