摘要

尽管有关补充和替代医学(CAM)疗效和安全性的信息有限,但癌症患者使用这些疗法的人数却越来越多。我们旨在确定伊朗癌症患者样本中使用 CAM 的流行率和预测因素。这项横断面研究在一家癌症门诊诊所进行,要求不同阶段的实体瘤或血液恶性肿瘤患者填写一份调查问卷,以了解 CAM 的使用情况。共有 131 名患者参与了这项研究,中位年龄为 58 岁(18-86 岁)。51.9%(68 人)的患者报告使用过 CAM。女性性别和较高的教育水平与使用 CAM 显著相关(OR = 2.47,P 值 = .01 和 OR = 2.55,P 值 = .02)。维生素和矿物质是最常使用的 CAM(n = 37,54.4%)。使用 CAM 的主要原因是改善免疫系统和抗癌(48 人,占 70.6%),其次是缓解常规癌症治疗的副作用(26 人,占 38.2%)。虽然有 3 名患者(4.4%)报告了副作用,但大多数患者(53 人,77.9%)对使用 CAM 感到满意。在使用 CAM 的患者中,55 名(80.9%)患者曾向医生报告其使用 CAM 的情况。使用 CAM 在成年癌症患者中非常普遍。医护人员需要提高对 CAMs 可能带来的弊端或益处的认识,并与患者讨论这些问题。

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Among Adult Cancer Patients: A Cross-sectional Study.

Although there is limited information on efficacy and safety of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), they are increasingly used by patients with cancer. We aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of CAM use among a sample of Iranian cancer patients. In this cross-sectional study, conducted in an outpatient cancer clinic, patients with solid tumors or hematologic malignancies in different stages were asked to complete a questionnaire to measure CAM usage. A total of 131 patients with a median age of 58 years (18-86 years) participated in this study. CAM use was reported by 51.9% (n = 68) of the patients. Female gender and higher education level were significantly associated with the use of CAM (OR = 2.47, P value = .01 and OR = 2.55, P value = .02, respectively). Vitamins and minerals were the most frequently used CAM (n = 37, 54.4%). The main reasons for CAM use were to improve immune system and fight cancer (n = 48, 70.6%) followed by relieve side-effects from conventional cancer treatments (n = 26, 38.2%). Although three (4.4%) patients reported side-effects, most patients (n = 53, 77.9%) were satisfied with their CAM use. Among CAM users, 55 (80.9%) patients had reported their CAM use to physician. The CAM use is highly prevalent among adult cancer patients. Health care providers need to raise their awareness on probable disadvantages or benefits of CAMs and discuss these issues with patients.

期刊介绍: Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
