Promoting the resilience of healthcare providers (HCP) is crucial during peaceful times and even more during national crisis. The outbreak of the war in Israel, Gaza strip, and Lebanon in October 2023 prompted the establishment of integrative medicine resilience clinics (IMRC) in three hospitals; incorporating evidence based integrative medicine (IM) modalities, for reducing emotional and physical concerns among HCP. Our objective was to explore the impact of the IMRC through narratives of IM practitioners who provided the treatments. To explore the impact of the IMRC through narratives of IM practitioners who provided the treatments.
Qualitative narrative research was based on in-depth interviews with 16 IM practitioners from IMRC's in three hospitals.
The interviewees' narratives revealed four spheres where the IMRC's contribution is suggested: 1- IM practitioners conceived their work to be effective in improving HCP wellbeing; 2- they felt that HCP functioned more effectively and provided better patient care; 3- practitioners described feeling meaningful, and acknowledged in the healthcare organization; 4- the positive impact of IM on HCP and administrators, positions them as potential advocates for IM in public health.
IMRC for hospital HCP may have an important role in maintaining HCP resilience during wartime. These effects may also have ramifications on the recognition of the role of IM in public health during crisis and everyday times.
提升医疗服务提供者（HCP）的适应能力在和平时期至关重要，在国家危机期间更是如此。2023年10月以色列、加沙地带和黎巴嫩爆发的战争促使三家医院设立了综合医学适应能力诊所（IMRC）；纳入基于证据的综合医学（IM）模式，以减轻医疗服务提供者的情绪和身体担忧。我们的目标是通过提供治疗的IM从业者的叙述来探讨IMRC的影响。通过提供治疗的IM从业者的叙述来探讨IMRC的影响。
定性叙事研究基于对三家医院IMRC的16名IM从业者进行的深入访谈。
受访者的叙述揭示了IMRC做出贡献的四个方面：1-IM从业者认为他们的工作在改善医疗服务提供者的幸福感方面是有效的；2-他们觉得医疗服务提供者工作效率更高，提供了更好的患者护理；3-从业者描述了感觉自己的工作有意义，并在医疗组织中得到认可；4-IM对医疗服务提供者和管理人员的积极影响，使他们成为IM在公共卫生领域的潜在倡导者。
针对医院医疗服务提供者的IMRC在战时维持医疗服务提供者的适应能力方面可能发挥重要作用。这些影响也可能对危机期间和日常情况下IM在公共卫生中的作用的认可产生影响。
