The aim of the study was to investigate the satisfaction of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) with a homeopathic service at an SCI rehabilitation center.
A cross-sectional questionnaire study was performed at an SCI rehabilitation center in Switzerland. It included patients with chronic SCI who presented themselves to a homeopathic service offered by the hospital in a 12-months period. The participants filled in standardized questionnaires in German: "Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile" (MYMOP), Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9), the European Project on Patient Evaluation of General Practice Care (EUROPEP) questionnaire, and a self-administered questionnaire.
The data of 14 patients were analyzed. Symptom severity as well as bother by the symptoms that led to homeopathic treatment decreased under homeopathic treatment (severity: from 4.3 to 3.3; bother: from 4.2 to 2.9) and remained lower over time (severity: 2.6; bother: 2.7), suggesting a sustained effect. Irrespective of the test instrument used, satisfaction rates were higher for homeopathic service than for homeopathic medication, which was rated as successful by 50% of the participants.
Persons with SCI suffering from secondary complications of SCI who accessed homeopathic care reported high satisfaction rates with the service. Therefore, homeopathic service can be considered as an additive measure in persons with SCI suffering from recurrent symptoms.
本研究旨在调查脊髓损伤(SCI)患者对 SCI 康复中心的顺势疗法服务的满意度。
在瑞士的一家 SCI 康复中心进行了一项横断面问卷调查研究。纳入了在 12 个月内向医院提供的顺势疗法服务就诊的慢性 SCI 患者。参与者填写了德语标准化问卷:“自我评估医疗结果概况”(MYMOP)、药物治疗满意度问卷(TSQM-9)、“欧洲普通医疗保健患者评估项目”(EUROPEP)问卷和自我管理问卷。
分析了 14 名患者的数据。在接受顺势疗法治疗后,症状的严重程度以及因症状而感到不适的程度均有所减轻(严重程度:从 4.3 降至 3.3;不适程度:从 4.2 降至 2.9),且随着时间的推移仍保持较低水平(严重程度:2.6;不适程度:2.7),提示存在持续疗效。无论使用哪种测试工具,对顺势疗法服务的满意度均高于对顺势疗法药物的满意度,参与者中有 50%认为顺势疗法药物有效。
因 SCI 继发性并发症而就诊的 SCI 患者对接受顺势疗法护理的满意度较高。因此,在出现反复发作症状的 SCI 患者中,可以考虑将顺势疗法服务作为一种附加治疗措施。
