Integrative Medicine has been described as "healing oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes therapeutic relationships and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative." National surveys consistently report that approximately one-third of adults and 12% of children use complementary and integrative medicine approaches. Although there are barriers to primary care professionals engaging in discussions about lifestyle change and complementary and integrative medicine options, there is also great potential to impact patient well-being.
整合医学被描述为“以治愈为导向的医学,它考虑到整个人(身体、心理和精神),包括生活方式的各个方面。它强调治疗关系,并利用所有适当的疗法,包括传统疗法和替代疗法。”全国性调查一直报告称,约三分之一的成年人和12%的儿童使用补充和整合医学方法。尽管初级保健专业人员在进行有关生活方式改变以及补充和整合医学选择的讨论时存在障碍,但对患者的幸福感产生影响的潜力也很大。
